Your business is going strong, and now you’re ready to expand a little bit, which includes adding another PC or laptop. Just as when buying a car you need to consider insurance, mileage, and maintenance in the price, it’s important to look at additional software costs when choosing a new computer. Whether popular software programs are “included” on your new system or you purchase them separately, you’re paying for them one way or another, and the costs can add up fast.

Another advantage of using OpenOffice.org that was not mentioned in the article is that you can open, edit and save documents in MS Office formats as well. In fact, I've used OpenOffice.org to open newer Word documents that older versions of MS Office couldn't open. It is freely distributable so you can install it on multiple workstations in an office without licensing issues. There are also a lot of tutorials available for OpenOffice.org online, so the learning curve is not steep.
