Eventually, the company added other office suite programs and with support for DOS, OS/2, and Windows, the suite became known as StarOffice. By 1986, he created a company, Star Division, porting the word processor to platforms like CP/M and MSDOS. It all started when German Marco Börries wrote StarWriter in 1985 for the Zilog Z80. But it did get us thinking about how things got here. We could argue that case either way, but we won’t. LibreOffice, on the other hand, is a very active project. Their logic is that OpenOffice has huge name recognition, but hasn’t had a new major release in several years. However, the LibreOffice team recently penned an open letter to the Apache project - the current keepers of OpenOffice - asking them to redirect new users to the LibreOffice project. That isn’t surprising since they both started with exactly the same code base. If you don't want to waste money but you want to enjoy all the power of a good office suite, LibreOffice is what you need.When it comes to open source office suites, most people choose OpenOffice or LibreOffice, and they both look suspiciously similar. Plus, the files created using Microsoft Office can be open and edited using LibreOffice and vice versa. These features are like a free Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint and the rest of the components of the Office suite. In short, it offers (for free) exactly what Microsoft Office offers for a lot of money. LibreOffice includes a spreadsheet creator, text edition tool, presentation creator, graphic editor, formula creator, and a database creation tool. This is what we offer you here, the free open-source alternative that is thought to be the new OpenOffice. OpenOffice was bought by Oracle and the community of developers of OpenOfice decided to continue their project under the name of Libreoffice. One of those good alternatives is called LibreOffice, the continuation of OpenOffice, one of the best open source office suites. Although Microsoft Office is still the most used office suite, there are some alternatives out there which offer really good features and ideas.
