OpenOffice takes on Microsoft Office at SMBs

[houtanal]

Which is better suited for your small or medium-sized business -- Microsoft Office (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx) or OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org/about_us/new.html)? The answer is far from straightforward, as there are many factors to be weighed, including price, functionality, support, licensing and interoperability. The best option for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) essentially boils down to assessing needs, learning about open source software, and determining whether there is in-house expertise or the budget to pay for outside help.
