Cost Savings Alternative to Microsoft Office Software

Have a small office or home office - or just looking to use Microsoft Office but don't have the $$ to pay for the software (Office Professional 2007 retails at $499.00 - and thats per workstation. As many of you know - we strongly believe in properly licensed software and will not install or provide bootlegged software - but there is a cost effective alternative.

Here's how to create and open Word, Excel, PowerPoint files legally with out needing to pay for Microsoft Office.

A tool created originally by open source developers, now owned by Sun, is available for download at no cost. It is great for home offices, students, or the extra PC that you don’t want to spend $499+ for Office. You can save documents in either the open source format, or in the proprietary Word – Excel – or PowerPoint formats, which can later be opened from Word – Excel – or PowerPoint. There probably are a few features missing from Office – but all in all makes a good solution for the business or homeowner looking to save money and still create and opne documents in the standard formats.
