As far as I know, they co-exist. I have them both installed on an XP machine.

Can Open Office and MS Office co-exist on the same pc without "fights"? Do they cooperate with each other. Currently I have Open Office installed but have a chance to get a copy of MS office through my employer. I don't want to have to uninstall Open Office if I don't have to. Any experience?
