After Oracle’s purchase of Sun, many developers of OpenOffice who were dissatisfied with Oracle’s handling of the open source project left and formed the Document Foundation. LibreOffice 3.3, a fork of the original OpenOffice project, is the first version released by the new organization, and brings a number of improvements over the latest OpenOffice version available.
LibreOffice offers compatibility with Microsoft Office file formats and includes the following applications: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Development is being supported by Google, Red Hat, Canonical, and Novell, among other companies. The software is compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac OS X and can be downloaded from Libreoffice.org.
