cheap MSOFFICE alternative

i was talking earlier with an old friend that he's manager in a company and he told me they use software602 suite in many systems as an alternative of msoffice. He's crazy anti-microsoft guy....probably that's why.

anyway,here's the link. +

http://www.software602.com/products/pcs/business.html

If you try to keep low cost regarding software application purchases for you or your company, it can benefit you since its only $60

Fully compatible with office and almost similar function,same menus etc

Star Office is obselete.

OpenOffice is based on the StarOffice code and is updated regularily. For most users, it does everything you need MS Office for. Available for Windows, Mac, Linux/FreeBSD, etc.

http://openoffice.org

Costs a lot less than $60 too

I've been using it since the early betas...

Works great, does everything I need it to, perfect compatibility with the M$ file formats.

You mean Evolution? (Ximian is the company that makes Evolution, along with a couple of other products).

I used it for a while, but graphical email gets on my nerves. Both the email client and the calendar work pretty well though. Not sure about the compatibility with existing outlook data though.

yeah, my bad, i meant evolution.

actually, at the moment i just downloaded mozilla thunderbird and it's importing my mail from outlook. let's see if it does a decent job. as long as it will import my shit and i can back it up decent enough, i'm good.

i think thunderbird will work well. it imported all my outlook mail and folders perfectly, i am quite surprised. now, just as long as everything works as far as saving mail between unix and windows, i'm set
