Sorry, obviously I didn't pay enough attention But why use adware, if you can get true freeware, and more: "Free Software"? I am definitely not going to recommend or even review adware.

The competition is stiff with the people from Redmont on the one (commercial) side setting high standards, and the open source community on the other following suite.

I keep getting recommendations for office suites other then the OpenOffice flavours or the so called Gnome Office (really a bundle of several independent apps) but they all fall so far in one or more of the following categories
  • I cannot install them on either of my machines
  • They are unstable and start or do not start, stay alive or die gracefully, freeze or don't
  • they're not worth bothering
  • They completely clutter my system (Arghhh!!!)
(I use a common configuration with Win XP Pro SP3, nothing special or fancy)

So while I would sure love to offer a wider choice of free office suites, it is

OpenOffice
http://www.openoffice.org/

OxygenOffice Professional
http://ooo42.org/oxygenoffice.html

Gnome Office
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeOffice

I recommend. Currently I'm testing another flavour of O3, but it is rather unstable and unreliable, so I'm not yet going to mention or recommend it. As a matter of principle I do not want to write a negative review, so those that didn't convince me, will simply not be mentioned.
