Its almost a dirty word, most people secretly want something better, but are stuck with windows applications due to policy at the work place or ignorance of anything else. What am I talking about? Microsoft Office.  Boy is that one entrenched, Microsoft makes quite a lot of money on their versions of office. They would rather you pirate windows than office.

So, what are our alternatives?

OpenOffice  This is a great suite , with the exception of email it contains all you need to replace office, some would say its even better (and faster) than office. It will handle word files, spread sheets , presentations. One of the best features? It can print to PDF natively ( get with the program Microsoft) 

It can be used on Windows, OSX and Linux Download
