SkyDrive v Google Drive v OpenOffice v Libre

First and foremost, I am far from a professional on these matters. In fact, I'm barely capable enough to use the Internet in its most basic form. After stating that, I must say that all four are almost exactly like, in my opinion. They're all basically Word, but free. It seems you can do all the things you want on one version, as well, do all the same things on the other. I will be having to pick bones trying to find differences, pros and cons to basically all the same thing.

SkyDrive: This is probably the worst of them, simple as you can't really use it on anything other than Internet Explorer, and even then, it's a bit dicey if works still. I works just like any of the rest, but it has the advantage and disadvantage of being entirely on-line. You can check it anywhere with Internet access, but you're screwed if you need to use it offline.



Google Drive: This is basically a better Sky Drive; you have the Internet availability, good or bad, and it works just the same, but it you can also save it on your hardware. You can set up an offline document on Google Drive, but it's not nearly as reliable as you could wish.




Apache OpenOfficeOpenOffice: This is probably the most basic of all the options: it works correctly, almost exactly like Word, it's just free. I honestly don't know what to say about it: it works it's free, and it's just like word. It doesn't save anything online, so that's somewhat of a disadvantage.



Libre: If I had a difficult time with describing Open Office, oh boy, will it be even harder with Libre. The only difference I could discern from Word or Open Office was just the fact that it looks a little different. Otherwise, it works just fine, even if it doesn't save anything online.
