Thinkfree - Run Office Suite online
October 16, 2006 at 4:58 pmThinkfree lets you create Office compatible word, excel and powerpoint complete with images, graphics and charts. It’s also possible to connect with your colleagues to share your work.

When you startup each application you’ll be amazed how close to Microsoft Office it looks.
