Corel® Home Office is a sleek new office suite for word processing, spreadsheets and presentation projects. Designed for the work you do at home, it features a fresh and simple interface with tabbed toolbars for quick navigation. Corel Home Office is easy to learn and use, compatible with Microsoft® Office*, and available at a fraction of the price of other leading office software.
Now, I am forced to use Microsoft Office because well, it is standard. Now luckily because of a really nice program by Redmond, I get the full version at a tenth of the price. But if you are a parent and just need something for the kids school and to occasionally write a document or need to open that spreadsheet the local curling club sent you, (assuming it does what it says it does) for $80 bucks that ain't bad. Home and Student version of office is $150.
Now I know people will ask me, what about openoffice? What about Symphony? Well I do like their products, but at least from the brief tour I have taken, it looks like Corel Home Office looks a heck of a lot like Word/Office. Which is nice for a learning curve. Most people learn computers that way and are shocked and dismayed when the newest version/thingy changes every process they've learned.
Assuming that Corel Home Office is actually a decent product and fulfils the needs of its target audience, then it's a great idea, especially given the contraction of people's wallets.
Corel want to give me free copy to demo for my blog of two readers? (I do own Corel Wordperfect Suite X3, X4 so you wouldn't be losing money)
