OpenOffice is a fully fledged office application suite, complete with a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation graphics program.
OpenOffice will be more familiar to some people as Sun Microsystems' StarOffice, which until recently was a free download.
With the launch of StarOffice 6, Sun changed its policy: the full office application suite would now cost (a still very reasonable) £50, while this completely free version is available to download.
Both share the same source code, with a few differences. OpenOffice does not include the StarOffice Adabas D database, certain fonts (especially Asian language ones), some templates and certain file filters.
This is the portable edition of OpenOffice, so you can take your suite on the road.

Do you agree?
Why Free?
Open Office - Quite simply why pay for an office suite?
