"To help users sift through the choices, Linux.com is launching
a series of articles about software in these four categories. For

"Open Source vs. Proprietary Word Processors
"One big advantage of open source word processors is that
they're free. If you've grown accustomed to Windows PCs, you've

AbiWord, you won't shell out a nickle."
