Most people know, that OpenOffice 3.0 can read, write and edit MS Office documents, like Word, Excel or Powerpoint documents. Personally I like it more than Word, because it’s organized better with style sheets etc. So I use it also on my Windows office PC.
Firefox 3.5 is a fast, relable and adjustable Internet browser. There are nice add-ons, but I’ll write about that in another blog.
For most a email client is an essential office program. I do not use Evolution, which is installed by default in ubuntu 8.10. I use Thunderbird 2.0 with Lightning extension. I like to use same programs on linux and Windows, if possible. But if you want to use the calendar extension lightning on Linux you need to install libstdc++5; installation is described in ubuntuforums. But in Thunderbird 3 Lightning should be integrated, so this detour hasn’t hopefully done anymore.
