"Not worth the security risks!"
0.5 starson by Microsoft_FactsPros: None. I tried to think of one, really, read full opinion.
Cons: Insucure, too exspensive, incompatibilities, lackluster performance.
Summary: Up until recently there were no document macro viruses, only Microsoft Office document macro viruses. Like many technologies only Microsoft products put consumers at risk. There was only _one_ other macro virus in Open Office last year. One. There are thousands of Microsoft viruses and security issues with Microsoft's office. The bottom line; if security of your PC or network matters at all, Microsoft Office is a non-starter. Look to other commercial alternatives such as Corel Office, and be sure to evaluate free alternatives such as Open Office. They all do what 99.99% of office users need. Write a letter, work a spreadsheet, create a presentation, all with formatting features, spell checking and thesaurus. Any product other than MS Office will save you money, run faster with less code bloat, as well as create compatible files with other products.

Statistics are not facts buddy. So there were many more macro viruses for MS Office than OOo... maybe that is because no one cares enough to make viruses for OOo. Microsoft owns 95% of the market share for office products. I'd also like to point out that Macs are easier to hack than PCs, especially since XP hit SP3. As far as running faster without code bloat: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10000462-16.html?tag=blog.4. OOo is honestly just not that great. For the word functionality, Zoho. For presentations, NeoOffice has a solid alternative to PPt. For spreadsheets, Excel still kicks ass. If you're going to write a review, know what you're saying and perhaps, PERHAPS, use the product first.
