ThinkFree – new exiting features
written on Oct.26, 2006
ThinkFree added some new features that might be useful. If you want the complete picture, check out my post on ThinkFree including screenshots and screencasts.
First, there’s a new way of sharing your files. You can choose whatever mailclient you usually use, such as Gmail and Hotmail (also local clients if you’re still running installed ones ;)). A good thing about this is that you don’t have to maintain a complete list of users in multiple locations – just pick them from your addressbook.
Second, which isn’t really relevant since I’m looking into uninstalling everything from my desktop is that there’s a new version out for the desktop version which more or less is ThinkFree Online, but installed on your PC.
Also, interesting news: ThinkFree announced that it has supplied The City of Los Angeles public library with ThinkFree Server Edition for its Central Library and 71 branch libraries. Can you imagine the cost savings? Instead of locally installing any Office suite on 2,200 desktops, they just maintain a webserver.
Oh, and by the way, did you know you can win some goodies if you recommend ThinkFree for someone, or if you tell them of a successful story when using it?

I’ve been using ThinkFree for a short time, and I really like the java interface which has the same features as powerful software such as Microsoft Word. The only small feature that is missing is the spell check function in the quick edit. I can’t install java on every computer, and sometimes I want to use the spell check function without the power edit.
