The answer is: Yes, Xubuntu DOES come with OpenOffice.

I personally recommend the Alternative Install CD to almost ALL users since
it's much more versatile.

The Openoffice is included in the Alternative Install CD but it is not
installed by default, if you installed the Ubuntu with the alternative
install cd, you can just insert your alternative CD and install openoffice
from synaptics, aptitude or apt-get (try something like "sudo apt-get
install openoffice"), and the openoffice will be installed into your system
from the Alternative Install CD.

If you installed with the Live CD, then you'll have two solution:

1. use "sudo apt-get install openoffice" and download it from the internet.
2. add the alternative cd into repository and use "sudo apt-get install
openoffice" will install from the alternative cd.
