Softmaker Office - the Good Office Suite; even FreeOffice



I have been using the Softmaker Office 2010, bought as Ashampoo Office 2010, then upgraded to Softmaker Office 2010. It’s fast in my Windows 2000, my preferred OS, and occupies just a sliver of my hardisk space. Although it does not have all the bells and whistles of the Microsoft Office product, it handles well the MS Office 2007 and up, new file format versions both in read and write (except in PPTx and XLSx). It does all the things I need to do in an Office Suite.

It gets better with Softmaker FreeOffice 2012, with most of the features of Softmaker Office 2010 but its FREE. And it still runs on my old reliable and simple Windows 2000 OS. What you will miss is just the writing into the DOCx, PPTx and XLSx file formats, and the dictionaries. If you definitely need these, why not buy the full Softmaker Office 2012 paid version, and support this good software product and company. You will never pay full price again for succeeding new versions.

Go now to http://freeoffice.com/ to download and test the Softmaker FreeOffice 2012.

Aren’t these Good Guys on the Web.
