[DEMUG] Office-type software?

[Tim Smith]

I know it might be (or at least seem) a bit lame, but MS Office is the  
de facto standard for pretty much all of corporate America. Which may  
or may not be an issue for you.

The 2008 version seems a bit snappier, but I'm not exactly a power  
user so there may be some things that aren't up to the highest  
standards. Some of the alternatives are getting better reviews, but I  
can't speak about them either since I've never tried them. The MAC  
version of MS Office has long been considered a better product than  
the windows version.

Since I'm in business for myself and all my clients use MS Office, I  
use it to insure I'm 100% compatible with them. Again, maybe not  
something you have to consider, but it might make sense to factor  
compatibility into your selection.

Best,
Tim
