Open Source Software — Free Stuff

Filed under:blog — posted by admin on March 23, 2009 @ 1:51 pm

We live in a windows and Microsoft world, this corporate America.  Fortunately, the Technology lessons that we learn in the corporate world are just as useless as most of the other “skills” that are deemed important while on the clock.  We DO NOT need window WE DO NOT NEED MICROSOFT OFFICE!!!

There are adequate replacement that are available to work on almost any computer for FREE.

Open Office is available here http://www.openoffice.org/

It is a decent alternative to Word and Excel and is totally free and works on almost all operating systems, even windows and powerpc and intel based mac’s.   OS X has another alternative called NeoOffice http://www.neooffice.org/ that is decent as well and is basically a java version of Open Office.

A great example of free software that most people use is Firefox: http://getfirefox.com

This is a super secure and fast browser that works on almost any platform known to man.
