  • Why Office 365 is a better deal than Office 2013

    The new Microsoft Office is here. As with the previous versions, you can get Word, Excel, PowerPoint and more as a locally installed suite of applications or as Office 365, a cloud-based subscription. However, choosing between Office 2013 desktop software and the new Office 365 is a dramatically different decision than in the past.

  • Decoding Microsoft Office: Which Office version does what?

    Once upon a time, bright boxes of the latest Microsoft Office pleaded for your attention in big box stores. Now, as with music albums and best-selling books, Office is going the way of the download.

  • Microsoft going all in with Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8

    It's a huge year for Microsoft. The venerable tech giant is essentially reinventing itself from the ground up for 2012. A new server OS, new desktop OS, new Microsoft Office suite, new mobile platform, and new tablet hardware are all being launched virtually simultaneously. To say Microsoft has a lot riding on the success of the new products is an understatement.

  • Microsoft Surface tablet can win enterprise IT battle

    Microsoft's new Surface tablet is yet to be released, although this hasn't prevented the trite predictions from some quarters that the new device will never be able to compete with the current undisputed tablet king, the Apple iPad.

  • Five reasons to download LibreOffice 3.6
