The best offices are free
I've posted a couple of articles extolling Open Office which - for its price - is definitely superior to Microsoft Office. Unfortunately I have recently switched from PC to Mac, and the Mac port of Open office is a bit clunky, because it hasn't been ported properly into the OS yet.
Luckily I've just discovered NeoOffice - http://www.neooffice.org/ - which is a version of Open Office that has been properly ported.
No more clunkiness. All the features that I need in an office suite. Full Microsoft compatibility. Still free.
Interestingly, I switched to Mac just as the new versions of Windows and Office came out. It's sort of passed me by as a result, but I have noticed that I don't think I've heard one piece of positive feedback about either yet. This is rather sad, since we need all the good software we can get, particularly from the dominant force in the industry. I hope things improve for them.
