Software you can Sink Your Teeth into...
Why buy Microsoft Word when OpenOffice.org is FREE!
The newest version of Microsoft Office is expensive and plagued with issues
prompting many to turn to the free service provided by
OpenOffice.org and typically seen
in education and government environments.
Open Source and Cloud Computing are terms you will likely hear with increased
frequency over the next few years. Consumer demand for lower cost and a more
flexible computing experience has spearheaded the increased popularity for these
products and services.
Open Source refers to software that developers and end users can freely use,
enhance, customize, etc. Open Source is free of the costly developer and user
license fees typically associated with products like Microsoft Office.
Cloud computing refers to the ability to subscribe to a service that lets you
access the software you need via the internet as opposed to purchasing it and
installing it on your computer. Just as internet service providers now offer
anti-virus programs as part of their subscription service...look for them to add
other software and services like file sharing space, photo and word processing
programs - available through subscription services.
Before you make that investment in Microsoft Office - Check out OpenOffice.org
... You'll definitely get your moneys worth
