Will open office work in place of Microsoft office?

I am taking a college class CIS 101 and Microsoft Office is required. I have the student edition but it does not have access included and access is required. I tried downloading the professional version for free from Microsoft but it kept saying my computer was offline, and now it says I have tried to many times. Will open office work, or is it different enough that I won’t be able to complete my assignmnets? Thank you!

Can I use the writing program Open Office to write a book?

I’m ready to write my first book (novel) but the only writing software my on my laptop is Open Office because it’s free. I’ve heard that authors like J. K. Rowling (Harry Potter series) used Microsoft Word to write.I can’t afford Microsoft Word and I was wondering if I could use the alternative: Open Office.

Thanks in advanced.

Side question: What writing software do you use?

How come Linux runs faster on my PC then Windows XP?

My friend told me that its more stable then Microsoft product, so I thought I would give it a try. Since I started using Linux, my computer doesn’t crash, freeze, or even slow down. It boots up 5 times faster, and shuts down faster. I would think Windows would be more stable since you pay for it and its made by Microsoft, which is one of the richest company’s in the world?
