OpenOffice: 0$

 
"If Darl McBride was in charge, he'd probably make marriage unconstitutional too, since clearly it de-emphasizes the commercial nature of normal human interaction, and probably is a major impediment to the commercial growth of prostitution."
-- Linus Torvalds, December 5th 2003.

this place sucks but don't tell anyone, it's our little secret, ok?

And there's nothing you can't do in Word that you can't do by plotting every pixel of it in Paint. It just makes it easier.

It is if you can use it right

Besides it's only in the special pro version of Office, well it was the last time I looked.

If you think Word can do the as publisher then you havent looked properly in both programs.

Publisher can do so much more than Word.

Word is for letters, stories etc.

Publisher is for ... well ... publishing.

You can place text and pictures etc. freely on your page and link text frames so the text automatically spans over the text frames. Text can not only be left/right/center aligned. It can also be aligned to fill the with of every line by adjusting the space between letters and words dynamically.

On top of that (and much more) Publisher can produce CMYK plates. Profesional copying is made by applying plates on the paper each with their part of the CMYK colors. Publisher can work with PostScript fonts (profesionals use these) and much much more.

what windows users usually say: "get a real computer!" well my computer is real.. its also 450mhz... and I dont have any money..
What Im trying to say is that if a)"you have a shitty computer" or b)"you use your computer to the limit" you'll start having problems with windows.. it doesnt matter its windows 2000 XP or NT... only then you'll start looking at linux with good eyes.

Well, I play games which do push your computer to the limit and XP works fine. Of course I can't say how well it works on a 450 MHZ computer. I don't think I could stand using a computer that slow on Linux or Windows.
