Another Office Alternative

Posted by michael on from the one-office-suite-to-bind-them-all dept.

MiTEG writes "The Washington Post has an article on a cheaper alternative to Microsoft's Office Suite, ThinkFree Office. Currently selling for $50, their product also includes a one year subscription to Cyberdrive, a 20 MB web file-storage service. While it's no StarOffice, this glowing review may help people realize that Microsoft is not the only option." 'Glowing review' probably isn't the right term to use, since the reviewer found quite a few faults.

    Miss Word? What, are you fucking insane? Word is a piece of over chromed crap. I hate that fucking program. What the fuck is it good for? Ooh, it makes nice and fancy things. Excel, now there's M$s one good piece of software. A spreadsheet with an easy easy easy script language (even if VBA itself is a piece of shit). But fuck that, there are better tools around. But seriously, what is it that Word is soooo good for. I fucking hate that piece of shit for writing.
