SoftMaker charity campaign: Download FreeOffice and do good at the same time

[MrFlibble 31]

SoftMaker Office had come to my attention some time ago - it's a nice and functional office suite from a German developer. They released the old editions of their product (Office 2006 and 2008) as freeware, and now they run a charity campaign:

Christmas comes early this year!

From now until December 24, you can download SoftMaker FreeOffice for Windows and Linux for free and help needy people at the same time: For every download, SoftMaker donates 10 Euro cents to charity and development projects around the world.

SoftMaker FreeOffice is a full-featured office suite for home and business use. And if you later decide you want even more features, you can switch to its commercial version, SoftMaker Office.

Spread the word! Tell friends and co-workers about our Load and Help 2012 campaign. We want to set a new record for donations this year!

Don't wanna make it look like an advertisement, but the SoftMaker office suite is really good quality software, and besides, it's free

This office suite compared to OpenOffice and LibreOffice = not much difference.

not much difference

It's a lot faster (which is quite noticeable on older machines), and the size of the distributive is smaller as well (60 Mb). Unlike the OpenOffice.org family of suites, you don't need a Java machine installed to use advanced functions. There's also an option to install a portable version of FreeOffice on a USB stick, although I'm not sure if OpenOffice/LibreOffice doesn't have a similar function.
