Can't afford Microsoft Office? You no longer need to

Thinkfree
In the last half of a year, there have been several compelling challengers to Microsoft Office. None of them will be as full featured, but desktop application Open Office will get you close. Now comes "Think Free", which is an entirely online version of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Fairly deep in features, compatible with office documents, run within a web browser, and integrated into many popular web apps like Flickr and Del.icio.us for easy additions of pictures and links. You get 1gb of free storage, can collaborate on files, and more. If you need to work from home but don't want to pay for Office, want to share a document between home and work, or collaborate on something, this can be a great way to go. First load takes a while while the java code downloads.
