Gates Launches Microsoft Office

 

Lately, people started to think that cheaper is better, especially on the internet, where lots and lots of new applications rise like the sun. Sure, it’s not the same as when you go to the supermarket and buy cheap oranges; they might not be as good as the expensive ones. Things don’t stand like that on the internet. Free antivirus programs, free audio and video players, free live TV. Everything tends to become free. And OpenOffice is also a part of this tendency.

Sure, many people don't need add-ons, but they can prove very useful. There was a time when I didn't need extensions at all, but after I tried some, I understood that there is not any risk at all and also that using add-ons is faster than not using them.

 

Let's say you need an FTP program, but don't want to buy SmartFTP and don't trust FileZilla anymore either, after your server got virused last time you uploaded a file on it. Then try to use FireFTP, a Firefox extension that provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers.
