[Software] Apache OpenOffice 4.0 review

[GL HERO SHIMA]

It's been a while since OpenOffice had an update. So long that Microsoft's SmartScreen security technology doesn't recognise the file as one that's commonly downloaded.

After years as the main open source competition to Microsoft Office, OpenOffice has fallen significantly behind. There was controversy after Oracle bought Sun, which had open sourced the code for StarOffice as the basis of the project, and most of the developers moved to The Document Project to work on competitor LibreOffice.

Both versions use the same underlying code but, despite Oracle handing OpenOffice to the Apache Software Foundation and recruiting developers behind IBM's short-lived Symphony - LibreOffice has had more updates and replaced OpenOffice in many Linux distributions.
