10. Open Source

11. MS Word vs. Open Office

12. Open Source Positives Free. No fee to use
You can add whatever functionality you need (as long as you know how)
Contributing to something bigger

13. Open Source Negatives People need to relearn the new software
It doesn’t always work as well
Someone has to know how to maintain it (free to buy, expensive to maintain)
If we all used Open Source then the flagship software that pushes the envelope would go out of business
