I have 2.4.1, and I'll probably upgrade to this- I love Open Office. It's a great alternative to Microsoft, and in a lot of ways, much friendlier, not to mention cheaper.

Its a decent program but still has a long way to go to reach the Office suite.

I enjoy that many Linux installs offer it as a standard piece of software, that makes the lives of many easier when working with Linux for the first time.
