To Hell with Powerpoint

The topic of my post regards the monopoly Microsoft now holds on productivity software. Why is word processing now synonymous with Word? Spreadsheets with Excel? And presentations with Powerpoint?

We need to wean ourselves off the EVIL that is Microsoft.

For PC users, switch to OpenOffice. Search for it in Google. It is free and easy to use. Also, you never have to pay for upgrades or worry about compatibility issues. It also tends to run quicker on the OS you use.

For MAC users, download NeoOffice. Same thing as OpenOffice, but runs natively on MAC OSX.

Good luck.

PS: OpenOffice suites never 'spy' on you like Microsoft does. Word, and everything else in Office 'checks with home' every time you open the program, sending Microsoft information about your computer.
