NeoOffice vs. M$ Office

[Epaminondas]

Sandbox,



If you are looking for a quick word processor, try taking AbiWord out for a spin.

Cross platform (Linux / Windows / MacOSX), small and fast.

And of course - Free.

The Open Office folk just posted another update to 2.2; it's up for Windows, Linux, and X11 for MAC OS X!  I guess the NeoOffice folk will follow fairly soon!

Which is more than can be said, unfortunately, for Open Office It's a real resource hog and very slow to start up.

I agree. I've also tried Google Docs & Spreadsheets but that's the slowest (and it's the one I really wanted to have work because everything is stored online- which is my fetish).

Yeah... that's true though.
The version I use (the previous one) also crashes at times when closing off.
You don't notice it but next time starting it up cause it will ask you to recover the document you left (crashing) before.

Still i'm happy with it.

I have to change my opinion of Google Docs & Spreadsheets.

I'd only used it at work. At home it's very fast. The new problem is that the spreadsheet only seems to allow 100 rows.
