8 Worthy Alternatives To Microsoft Office

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft's Office suite of productivity applications has long been the gold 
| standard for everyday computer programs -- and they've been priced that way, 
| too. Sure, some users need that kind of power, but for thems that don't, 
| bMighty.com's latest slideshow lays out eight cheap -- or even free! -- 
| alternatives.

Sales of Microsoft Office are already declining (not just the cost... because
Microsoft resorts to dumping).

| I can’t help but wonder if the lackluster Windows/Office results also can be 
| attributed to Microsoft brass’s complete and crazy obsession with Google (and 
| taking over Yahoo) has resulted in no one minding the Windows store. Kevin 
| Johnson, the head of Microsoft’s Platforms & Services division seems to be so 
| laser-focused on the online-ad business these days that he almost seems to 
| have forgotten Microsoft is still in the software business, too.     
| 
| Microsoft execs’ claims about walking away from the Yahoo deal are nothing 
| more than bluster. A protracted hostile takeover bid is just going to 
| distract not just employees in Microsoft’s online services business, but 
| company management, too. It’s not a pretty picture.
