Best FREE Word Processor? : Othor Games

» Tue Dec 06, 2011 10:09 pm

My 60-day Microsoft Office trial I was using for work has expired on my newest laptop so I'm wondering what you guys think the best free word processor is. I was thinking Open Office, any thoughts?

OpenOffice / LibreOffice.

Hasn't OpenOffice now split off into LibreOffice? Something to do with Oracle being difficult from what I recall, but I use the latter, anyway.

Not overly fond of AbiWord, Softmaker's ok, but not FOSS, Oracle killed OpenOffice.org.

That just leaves LibreOffice

If anyone mentions KOffice as a real alternative needs to spend 5 minutes in it before talking

So far their "free" offerings haven't been so free. I gave up on it for being proprietary and constantly promising free versions and not delivering (dunno if 2012 is actually free or not, as I said, I gave up on it)
