Alternates to MS Office – Free and Paid alternatives to microsoft

by Nabeel on April 13, 2010

MS office has become one very important part of our every day computing because of the programs it covers like

  • microsoft word (ms-word)
  • microsoft powerpoint (ms-powerpoint)
  • microsoft excel (ms-excel)
  • microsoft access (ms-access)
  • and a wide range of microsoft office tools

But ofcourse they are not free! So many of us out there who can't afford them or lost our produce keys etc who now need to utilize any of the ms office products, there are some free and paid alternatives available out there which are some times more powerful than microsoft office alternatives and some times almost identical. Such as:

Paid software alternates to microsoft office:

  1. Oracle – Staroffice
  2. Corel – Wordperfect Office
  3. Apple – Appleworks

Free software alternates to microsoft office:

  1. OpenOffice
  2. IBM – Lotus Symphony
  3. GenomeOffice
  4. KOffice
  5. AjaxWrite
  6. Zoho
  7. Google Docs

Hopefully these alternates will be able to replace the Microsoft Office produce in your software library and may even prove to be better than ms office itself.
