It's been a bumpy five years in the making, and it took a detente between old rivals Microsoft and Apple to do it. Office for Mac OS X is finally here--could it be the start of a beautiful friendship?
Demonstrating how it has forsaken its PC-only heritage, the company announces new software titles for the Mac OS X operating system. Adobe: Are you watching?
Microsoft's Windows XP has received a fair amount of hype in the lead up to its release-Matt Lake and Josh Mehlman assess its usefulness for businesses.
Apple Computer is expected to unveil today a long-anticipated upgrade to the Mac operating system.
Microsoft has a message for all those who still see the software giant as a rival to Apple Computer: Get over it. Recently, their infamous combative stances relaxed into more amicable postures.
Looking for an alternative to Microsoft Office? Our reviews round-up gives you the details of several popular options.
OpenOffice.org 2.4.0 is a free, open source alternative to Microsoft's Office application suite. It is fantastic if you need basic office applications such as a word processor or spreadsheet at no cost. However, large organisations and power users may be disappointed by its lack of features and support.
Many free and inexpensive office suites are available for download or for use in a web browser. So what's the advantage of paying a pretty penny for a desktop office suite? Corel's WordPerfect Office X4 offers a strong software package that comes closest to the breadth and depth of features found in Microsoft Office.
It's no secret that Microsoft dominates the productivity suite market, but that doesn't mean it's the only way to go.
The improvements in Word, Excel and PowerPoint make this upgrade worth the cash, especially for Office 2001 users, but the new Project Center needs beefing up.
