Free Office Software

I still don't understand why people like spending their money to buy expensive Microsoft Office software? For sure the products offer a lot of feature, but are you gonna use all of those features? Also, do you know the free similar software for doing your office activities? Try the free software and if don't like it, uninstall it from your computer and then buy the nonfree one and compare them (but you cann't get your money back for your purchased software because you already open the seal).
Try OpenOffice software or free version of Star Office from Sun Microsystem.
You can download OpenOffice from here http://www.openoffice.org/
or Star Office from here http://pack.google.com/intl/en/pack_installer.html?hl=en&gl=ca
