It only includes Word and Excel compatibility, but it works well and is IMHO faster than OO, and has quite a bit smaller foot print. Currently OO download is 167.8MB (linux edition) , while SMOffice is 24MB. Granted OO has perhaps Access and PP compatibility, however most people only use either Word or Excel. There are versions for Windows, Linux and FreeBSD. The 2008 version is NOT free. <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> Barry A.
