Excel Clone for Linux Now in Beta

Posted by michael on from the gnumeric-also-a-possible-choice dept.

Martin Kotulla writes "SoftMaker, a German software developer, has released the first public beta of PlanMaker 2004, a native-Linux spreadsheet that is highly Excel-compatible ... in fact, this app is basically Microsoft Excel ported to Linux, including Excel-compatible charting and even AutoShapes. Here is a chart comparing Excel, OpenOffice.org, and PlanMaker." Update: 05/07 19:07 GMT by M : Softmaker.de is temporarily down; the site can still be reached at softmaker.com.

  1. Or use crossover office! by Krik+Johnson · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Cross over office lets you run your Windows Applications in Linux! Office, Photoshop, Quicken, Dreamweaver and more! I officially abandoned Windows due to this App! Get it now!, or get it preinstalled with SuSE Office Desktop or Xandros.
