Google Software Freebies
The big news today is the announcement of Google Spreadsheets. Looks and acts just like Excel...only it is online and it is free. I cannot get in to play with it at this point: I can only take the tour and sign up to try it.
But we are seeing more and more open source solutions for the popular Microsoft Suite of products. Seems like every internet and software company is developing a product that aims to take a bite into Microsoft's lunch.
And for still more Google software freebies, there is always Google Pack, "a free collection of essential software." It includes Mozilla Firefox with the Google Toolbar, a special edition of Norton Antivirus, Ad-Aware, Adobe Reader 7, Picasa, Screensavers, and more -- all in one handy-dandy free download. ¶ 6/06/2006 09:42:00 AM
