Cheaper (or free) Office Software
Everybody uses Microsoft’s Office Suite. Nobody can really afford it. Yeah, it’s powerful, yeah, it’s nice, but yeah, it’s Microsoft. Which means, big security holes, problems with the software, and a hefty price tag.
If you’re looking for something different, or cheaper (I know many small businesses that can’t afford to buy office 2007 for their 5-6 computers!) read this article: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2222278,00.asp
A nice alternative that seems to be much cheaper is ZOHO office: http://www.zoho.com/
It’s cheap, and online (which means you pay for it, but can use it from any computer with an internet connection).
Or http://www.ssuitesoft.com, no need for Java or .NET framework, which makes it a very easy alternative to Office as well.

I personally tend to favour SSuite Office’s free office suites. Their software also don’t need to run on Java or .NET, like so many open source office suites, so it makes their applications very small and efficient.
