<description><![CDATA[Earlier, someone wrote, "... Yet another ego-tripping offering from Giovanni (#11) ... It’s all very well to show off your knowledge of all things free every day but how about actually reviewing the actual giveaway ... That’s what the page is all about ... How about a thought for the developer each day rather than throw up a list of opposition software complete with multi8ple LOL’s and !!!!!’s ..."

I LOVE Giovanni's reviews and competitive offerings, and they are the among the MOST VALUABLE information the developers of today's give away can take advantage of -- because they apparently don't know about the alternatives if Giovanni can find better.

If the developers try everything Giovanni suggests, ten the next offering from those developers should be superlative.

Until then, until any developer understand the competition, and learns how to make their product at least as capable and functional, then they hardly stand a chance of making their product stand out!

Giovanni, Ohio, joeyspop, Peter Elliot, fredward, and so many others are offering a path for the creation of outstanding products ... if the developers will only listen and get in touch with the real world Giovanni and others offer them, and that Giovanni and others offer to all of us.

Thank you, Giovanni.

And thanks to everyone else who freely contributes their time and energy to give ANY feedback here -- including Chas!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I would have liked to try this offer, but to be honest when I installed the suite from the last Kingsoft give-away it produced many problems by conflicting with other software. 

For example, MSN behaved strangely with punctuation keys being remapped.... and in QuickEdit which I use for coding, some HTML could not be entered properly because the square brackets would not display, likewise JAVA, Ruby and C were almost impossible to code.  

I can also attest to the comment of @54 who found that the language options changed (depending on which software was being used (for example, quote ["] became the British pound-sterling character).

After having had enough of this, I uninstalled Kingsoft Office (including Word).  Even using "Your Uninstaller" software, the Kingsoft suite could not be fully eradicated. Hence I continued to have the language selection changing from US English, to UK English, to Canadian French.  Truly a nightmare.

Eventually, I had to reinstall Windows and finally got rid of the problem.  So as you can imagine, I really don't find any compelling reason to install this giveaway.

<description><![CDATA[Am a professional writer upgrading from XP to Win7 &amp; need to either upgrade Word97 to a new version (I'd rather run bamboo splinters under my nails than upgrade Word), or find a substitute. Have to be able to read/write DOCX, but my main requirements are something easy on my eyes (I use it 8 hr/day),with lots &amp; lots of custom keyboard shortcuts (&amp; macros if possible) &amp; I want it glitch-free &amp; fast -- and if I mistype some key combo when I'm going flatout I don't want to have to spend an hour trying to undo whatever mess I got myself into, or lose even 5 minutes' worth of work (you can see why Word &amp; I have . . . words.) 

Found Kingstoft &amp; gave it a good test-drive a few weeks ago: it's fully servicable, but nothing stands out. I didn't care for its physical interface (personal preference, but as I said, I'm using the thing for hours every day &amp; that's important to me; might not be to you). Had problems setting up manuscript pages (something glitchy with the margins; never did figure out what, maybe it was just my computer). Just a lot of small things I didn't care for that added up to my not liking it enough to buy it (nor will I bother downloading the freebie today). 

I also tested -- and am buying -- Atlantis, which runs rings around anything else I've tried (and in the last month I've probably tried every WP out there, free &amp; not). I know people here hate it when you talk about programs other than the offered one, but if I can help just one person find a program that works, I'll take the flack. 

My bottom line: word processors are very personal things &amp; you won't know if something works for you until you try it. I wouldn't (and didn't) pay for Kingsoft, but as a freebie, it would probably do fine for anyone with basic WP needs. I recommend giving it a try because it just might be the perfect WP for YOU.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The best MS Office work-alike is not free, but it is well worth the money.  And that is Ashampoo Office 2012.

It is fast and compact, and it can easily become "portable" if you want.

Ashampoo Office is actually a cheaper, rebranded version of Softmaker Office.  

Version comparison:

Ashampoo Office:
Textmaker, Planmaker (spreadsheet), Presentation Maker--all fully compatible with Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

Softmaker Office standard:
Adds a utility for writing macros in Visual Basic.

Softmaker Office professional:
Adds a superfluous Email client.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Yet another ego-tripping offering from Giovanni (#11).
It's all very well to show off your knowledge of all things free every day but how about actually reviewing the actual giveaway.
That's what the page is all about.
How about a thought for the developer each day rather than throw up a list of opposition software complete with multi8ple LOL's and !!!!!'s]]></description>
