+ Although it's the big name software companies that capture the headlines,
shipping the box is only a small part of the equation. For the majority of
users, it's other people who provide the value add: the people running training
courses, writing user guides, providing support, integrating systems, providing
niche-market add-ons... For all of these businesses, Apache OpenOffice provides
an unbeatable value proposition. No longer do you have to spend a large chunk
of your client's budget on software licenses. With OpenOffice, you can offer
office software of the highest quality at no cost.
