TOP STORIES Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium Office 365 (AKA Office 2013) looks better than Office 2010 and includes new convenience features, with a minimal learning curve for existing users. It's the best argument I've seen for moving documents into the cloud without any compromise in features and flexibility compared to desktop-only applications. Share This: LibreOffice 4 LibreOffice 4 is the only serious choice for a no-cost open-source desktop- or laptop-based office suite. Its interface may be a bit clunky and outdated, but it's undeniably powerful and full-featured. Share This: SoftMaker FreeOffice FreeOffice is faster than its free competitor LibreOffice but not as powerful overall; on the other hand, it has some Microsoft-Office-like features that LibreOffice can't match. Share This: iWork Apple's productivity suite isn't yet a replacement for Microsoft Office for the Mac, but iWork '09 offers a terrific set of programs for light word processing and medium-to-heavy spreadsheet use. And the stellar Keynote presentation app leaves the competition in the dust. Share This: Microsoft Office for the Mac 2011 The latest Mac version of the world's most widely-used office suite is a spectacular success, and an unexpected triumph for Microsoft's Macintosh group. Compared with Office for the Mac 2008 and its predecessors, Office 2011 is innovative, better-designed, startlingly faster, vastly more powerful, and far more compatible with Office for Windows. Share This: OfficeSuite Pro 7 for Android The latest version of OfficeSuite Pro brings a completely refreshed interface to an already capable mobile office suite that is well worth the price.
