BETA (November 20, 2009)

Windows 2000/9x/XP / Commercial Demo / 1,295 downloads

SoftMaker Office contains a TextMaker (Word), Presentation (Powerpoint), PlanMaker (excel spreadsheets), and BasicMaker (Macro writer). All this in under a size of 45 Megabytes so it can load in an instant. It even comes with a quickstarter, but it may not be needed with the incredible speed of SoftMaker Office. Even with its amazing speeds it still leaves you with the ability to drag and drop arrange icons for a userfriendly interface. If loss of files has you worried about this wonderful product then don't be worried as SoftMaker Office has full compatibility for Microsoft Office formats and OpenDocument Formats.

    I have Office 2007 Enterprise which I personally are not fond of.So I use this & my daughter uses MS 2007.

    IMHO this suite is streets ahead of Open Office, it makes Open Office seem like it was designed in the 80s. I have only had to pay a small amount as I bought the 2008 version. MS could learn a lot from this software as in you can actually remove it if you wish. And it & doesn't require a service pack every 3 months. Version 2010 beta is excellent.

    I pre paid & saved even more. Well worth every penny. A very polished program. BTW Ashampoo also market this program with a few changes but in essence it is the same.

    I didn't think I'd want to pay for an office suite with OpenOffice around, but SoftMaker have made a great product! The compatibility with MSOffice is excellent, which is important to me, and a reason why I've been looking for something else than OOO. It is also a very quick office suite. The applications start pretty much instantly, something which unfortunately cannot be said of OpenOffice (which certainly has other advantages).

    There are some things which can still use some improvement, but overall I'm very happy with my purchase!

    FYI: SoftMaker also provide a very good academic licensing.

    Softmaker is more stable than Openoffice, at least when I use it. It is available for Windows, Pocket PC CE and higher, Linux, including Ubuntu. the Pocket PC version is full featured!
    Note: The final release of the new versions other than windows can be found at softmaker.com/forums
