There is an alternative to the various Office Productivity applications that won’t cost you a small fortune. I recommend the use of Open Office, owned now by Oracle. It is free and completely legal in all respects. It is compatible with Microsoft Office documents, worksheets and presentations. It can be downloaded and installed right from the web. It can be found using your favorite search engine.

Windows 7 Tip
Jun 11
Many clients have asked us whether it is worth upgrading to Windows 7 from XP or Vista. We are very impressed with Windows 7. It has run all our software applications without a hitch. Some errant older applications have been reported to have some compatibility issues with Windows 7. For that reason Microsoft has provided free of charge a solution called XP Mode. It is available from the Microsoft web site for users of Windows 7 Professional or higher. XP mode can be found at the following URL, http://www.microsoft.com/virtualpc.
