ThinkFree Office Suite for Your Netbooks
Posted in: accessories, tags: office suite, thinkfree
With the growing popularity and industry attention that netbooks are getting, it is understable that every player in the tech market would want to join the fray. This goes not only for PC manufacturers but even PC platform and application developers. One of these developers is the company known as ThinkFree which just made available their suite of office applications that would run on most netbooks available today.
ThinkFree Office Suite is geared to run on most Atom-based netbooks and would enable users to do word processing, spreadsheet and presentation application on these netbooks. This would be a good alternative for netbook owners who wouldn’t want to overload their netbooks’ storage capacity with Microsoft Office. ThinkFree docs are compatible with Microsoft Office so you can easily open them later on, in your regular machines.
Free trial copy of ThinkFree Office Suite is available from the company’s site and would run your netbooks whether you have an XP, Linux, Vista or Mac OS X installed on your netbooks. The software runs fine on a netbook with 800×480 and 1024×600 displays.
ThinkFree’s Netbook Edition is available for Windows XP, Vista, Linux, and Mac OS X and will work fine on 800×480 and 1,024×600 displays. A free trial copy of the software can be downloaded now on the company’s site.

I downloaded the trial and installed it on my 900 16G. It is pretty fast, and seems 100% compatible with word docs (even docxs). It has a much smaller footprint than either Microsoft Office or OpenOffice. Pretty slick. And everything is pretty much were any Office user would expect it to be.
Thanks for the heads up S. Ingraham. Will download it later and see if it will run on my 701. =)
i don’t think its free.
this is worst than open office.

Very slow in my 901…MS Office 2003 runs faster.
If you want something fast, stable, reliable.. than try the Gnome office suite. Abiword and GnuMetric. They support everything OO.O does, but its a more minimal interface. If you REALLY want fast though, learn TeX, you can just use your favorite text editor (VIM, Emacs, etc) to make your documents.
Er, forgot to mention that it’s real free software (GPL!).
