I've been using Google Docs, which is quite good, but as the Starks say, Winter is coming, and bad weather tends to disrupt my crappy internet connection, so I need something I can get at when rain floods the Virgin servers. In the absence of anything free, I can get Office 2010 for £9 through my workplace's Home Use Program, but I hate 2007 and its stupid ribbon bar.

Simple interface, small footprint, reminiscent of mid-90s Office, not cluttered with options I'll never use... I'll see how I get on with it. -- "I'm Commander Shepard, and you're standing in the biggest library in Citadel Space. Look me up." <cite>BlackMageJawa posted [p:331122] in Aside from...

That's the same thing, just forked for ideological reasons.

Anyway, there's AbiWord, but it isn't great.

I'll see how I get on with it.
