Which one do you use?
Microsoft Office for Desktop and at school,
iWork on MBP.

What about you guys? (I'm assuming 99% of you guys use MS Office)

I use Microsoft Office, whereas my brother uses OpenOffice. We only needed a 1 user license since my family do not require the extended features MS Office has.

I would love MS Office, but I constantly have to re-install Windows due to my own idiocy and BAM! There goes the Office license. So that is why I usually use OpenOffice.org.

LibreOffice or AbiWord, depending on what I feel like.

Btw, OpenOffice is not made/maintained by Apache. It's actually Oracle that does that.

Nope.
OpenOffice was made and maintained by Oracle, but it is now a part of the Apache family of software, and is maintained and revised by the Apache team, and the community in general, as an open-source project.

In an announcement made today (1 June 2011), Oracle has donated the OpenOffice.org project to the Apache Software Foundation. The proposal calls for OpenOffice.org to be established as an incubator project.
On 1 June 2011, Oracle Corporation submitted the OpenOffice.org code base to The Apache Software Foundation. That submission was accepted, and the project is now being developed as a podling in the Apache Incubator under the ASF's meritocratic process informally dubbed "The Apache Way". OpenOffice.org is now officially part of the Apache family. The project is known as Apache OpenOffice.org (incubating). Over its 12-year history, the ASF has welcomed contributions from individuals and organizations alike, but, as a policy, does not solicit code donations. The OpenOffice.org code base was not pursued by the ASF prior to its acceptance into the Apache Incubator

I live under a rock. :whoops:
Huh, I guess you're right. I haven't looked at OpenOffice once openSUSE started offereing LibreOffice as default in 11.4.

I use iWork because I just like it more but there can be compatibility problems so I have office 2011 as well but I never have the need to use them anyway when I need to type something down I just use text edit or notepad.
