1. Office Suite - Kingsoft Office Suite Free 2012
Min requirements : Windows XP / Vista / 7 | File size : 82.5MB
Why you must use it – There’s no shortage of decent free office suites available to download. If Mirosoft’s new cut-down starter edition of MS Office is too limited for your tastes, there’s always OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice. Kingsoft is probably not a name you’ll be familiar with, but its free suite is an excellent, solid alternative that does a superb job of mimicking earlier versions of Microsoft’s product. If you’re not a fan of the ribbon interface, you’ll love the familiarity of this suite, because it copies the older layout perfectly ( if you miss the ribbon yuo can get it – and other additional features – by upgrading to the Pro version for $69.95 ). The suite comprises a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation creator, and can open all the popular Microsoft formats. It can’t write to the newer DOCX or XLSX formats, although your’re unlikedly to need those. Files written in Kingsoft’s own format can be open directly in MS Office.
