Tired of Using Microsoft Office? Try These Alternatives

207webapps_2
If you’re fed up with Microsoft Office, or you just can’t pony up the cash, there are a number of Web-based applications that offer much of what Office does for free or nearly free. As an additional benefit, these online tools come with great, collaborative tools built right in. Perfect for the type of business being done today.

Earlier this week I was interviewed on 207, Maine’s premier evening news magazine, as their "tech expert." We looked at Google Docs and Zoho, and had a few minutes left at the end to talk about Jott.com, my new favorite app.

As is always the case, the file is in Windows Media format. Please be patient, it takes forever to load.

Watch Web Application Alternatives to Microsoft Office.

    Rich, I can't use my last name here because Microsoft may get me but I've noticed that a lot of high school and college age kids are using "Open Office". My son (age 15) uses it and it's a tad slow to open but after that it may be better than Office and I defintely like the spreadsheet program better than Excel. It's supported by Sun Microsystems. At $300 Microsoft may be pricing themselves out of the game.
