Please tell me the difference between Free Office and SoftMaker
Standard. I am going to install one or the other on my new computer
running Linux, and I
would prefer whichever is most nearly like the old SoftMaker Office
that was free up to maybe 3 or 4 years ago, which I still have on
another machine.
Thanx! --doug
I didn't read the whole thing! What's the difference between
Professional, Standard, and Free Office? I won't mind a one-time charge,
but I don't like
the idea of being held hostage to something that expires every year.
