Frankly, both look to be good alternatives to MS Office and no one can argue with the price..FREE. Although, I'd prefer to download one...

Any experience with either ??

Thanks....
I've had more success too with Neo Office. I use it primarily to open .wps files. Rumor has it that a new version of Word for the Mac is coming out this coming holiday season. I'd rather save my money and use an alternative
