I'd be very surprised if we can't all get behind LibreOffice. LibreOffice is one of those products that lets us get real / meaningful work done in our open source world. Without it
we would all need a separate machine with MS Office just to write documents. LibreOffice also makes a great open sources drug to start newbies on; users who wouldn't touch Linux are quite interested when you can throw a free office suite onto their computers.<div>
