N.B. This page compares NeoOffice 2.2.4 to OpenOffice.org 3.0 Beta and Microsoft Office 2004 .

This page attempts to provide a balanced, but by no means complete, comparison of NeoOffice's performance with two comparable office suites, Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org, to help you make a more informed decision when evaluating office software. Some other software developers have similar comparison pages; those we are aware of are linked below.
