Nope, not spam folks... get it while you can (actually it'll be around for a long time hopefully).
OpenOffice.org just released version 3, which was released for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X (Intel only), and some other platforms.
OO3 offers a word processor, spreadsheet, database, and presentation program. It has many features that Office has, but of course doesn't have them all. OpenOffice is an initiative started by Sun that is a community collaboration to bring about free software to offer alternatives to Office.
One of the features I like is that there is only one program/icon to open for anything. You don't have to open a separate program for word processor, spreadsheet, etc. It's all one program.
For Mac users, it definitely runs faster than Office '08.
Just passing along free software for all you broke students and residents... best of all, it's actually legal.
