  Open office is alright if you need to do offline editing.
  
  It basically all boils down to MS Office being superior.

  LibreOffice is better than OpenOffice. http://www.libreoffice.org/
  
  OpenOffice has sort of stagnated.

  I laugh my ass off at Apple's attempt at the office suite. They completely change nearly EVERYTHING, just so they can differentiate themselves from Microsoft. In my opinion, the Office suite should be universal... and Microsoft Office should be CHEAP... but it's not.

  Microsoft Office is pretty reasonably priced.

  Unlike Apple products, Microsoft products are very affordable if you know where to look.

  Especially in an education setting. My wife bought a copy of Office for Mac through school and it was $11.

  If you have an iCloud account, Apple's new iWork suite through the browser is about the same as all the other shitty free solutions.
  
  None are even close to MS Office.

  Why don't you just tell everyone where to look, instead of just repeating yourself?

  Not that my post was very funny but it would have been even less so if I didn't pretend asking for opinions = difficulty.
