Nice one :Thmbsup: .. I wonder if it's possible to upgrade to 2010 from this one since it's marked as a charity release.

Edit: I guess I should try actually reading the page first :-[

This suite is the same as the Ashampoo office suite, and has been regularly offered for well under $10. At that price, it's far superior to OpenOffice. And with this offer, making it free, I just can't see any reason to consider OpenOffice.

Obviously, MS Office remains the 800-lb gorilla. But if you don't need to use it, then SoftMaker is a great alternative. IMHO, it's far more usable than OO. It's much smaller, too, which makes a difference for portable installations. And it's a complete suite, unlike other apps like AbiWord.

In short: grab this while you can.

Jibz:
Only annoying thing about upgrading to 2010 would be this:

Upgrade from older versions of SoftMaker Office, TextMaker, PlanMaker:

€ 49.95
U.S. and Canadian customers: US$ 49.95

That's 30% extra for the upgrade for European customers :(.
