If you’re already happy using Libre Office or, there’s no obvious reason to switch to this, and there’s definitely no reason to if you already have a “proper” copy of Office. But free is a lot cheaper than full-edition Office, which can cost as much as some netbooks if you buy the Professional edition. You don’t get the full Office experience - no Developer tab and no macros, for instance - and there’s only two apps included: Word and Excel. I use Starter Edition on my travel netbook, and I can’t say the advertising (which appears in a permanent right-hand screen pane) has ever bothered me - virtually all of it just suggests upgrading to one of the full versions. At the moment, however, you can download the whole thing for free from Microsoft’s servers.
Microsoft has offered a cut-down, ad-supported free Starter Edition of Office 2010 for quite a while now, but it has only been available pre-installed on netbooks and other low-spec PCs.
