Yes, OpenOffice.org 1.0.1 and EasyOffice Premium they are very good programs.
Granted, though neither includes an e-mail application.
People keep talking about Word being the centerpiece of Office; nonsense (in my humble opinion).
The *real* flagship Office application is (surprisingly) *Outlook*.
In corporate environments (especially those with Microsoft Exchange Server) Outlook is the standard mail client.
In small-office/home-office or personal usage, Outlook is most often used to connect to the ISP (as a POP3 client). Either way, Outlook brings surprising power to mail management, considering that Outlook has historically been the *red-headed stepchild* of Office.
Perhaps that is why Outlook has gotten more developer attention in Office 11 B1 Enterprise Edition than any other single application.
