Everyone keeps making comments such as: "don't complain..It's free"

Well YOU miss the whole point of this site. It may be free to those here today but technically it ISN'T free. Others have to pay. The whole point of this site is so companies can offer their products and get the following feedback:

Program itself -- Including and not limited to:

How it runs, how well the options and such work, any issues found (bugs), Setup and installs, features present, what it might be lacking or suggestions to make it better, etc.

The overall opinion of their program and type of program. Is it useful, is it something that you could see paying for against the competitors and free programs, does it hold up to or compare well with other programs of the same type, etc.

Finally....yes...the listed cost (price). You know...the price that people really have to pay that is clearly LISTED near the top of EVERY GOTD Offer under PRICE.

Its already known to EVERYONE HERE that yes...today on THIS site people can get it for free. OTHERWISE they would have to pay the LISTED price...which is NOT free.

Companies are looking to find out users opinions and thoughts on all aspects of their product....PRICE IS ONE ASPECT.

So stop whining every time someone mentions that the price is too high because "it's free today" That isn't relevant at all to the listed price.

Most products are a clone of something and then changed or tweaked to hopefully make them better in some way. Whether to add features or make a lighter version, or even to make it compatible with another system.

This is one of those. Yes, there are free office programs and suites out there. Yes, some have many more features and options and some have less. This is one that, according to the company, is lighter and runs faster (amongst other things).

The best advice anyone can give is "Try it for yourself". If you find it a good program that meets your needs by all means use it.

If not or if you find issues with it let others know. Contact the company and let them know what you have found or feel about their product.

If you think its a worthy program to recommend let everyone know some details of why that is...outside of just a "it's good...or looks nice".

Tested out the program on a .pptx file made by Softmaker 2012 and the result was not convincing: characters with diacritics were suddenly displayed in another pointsize and the spacing between the characters was poorly adjusted. When I tested the same file in MS Powerpoint (2oo7 and 2010) everything was just fine.

The program is attempting to modify an autostart entry which enables a specific program to be automatically loaded the next time the system starts.

Kingsoft installation
Some time back I installed the GAOTD Kinsoft word software followed some time later by their database offering now we have the presentation software. Problem is the database offering uninstalled the word program and I presume this will uninstall the database software. So if you want free copy's then you are out of luck you have to decide which you want, you can only keep one of the 3 Kingsoft freebees as each installation removes all other previously installed Kingsoft software.

This is the 3rd time I've seen this on GOTD. The first time I installed, it changed all my MS Powerpoint docs icons to the Kingsoft icon. I found that a bit irritating, so I uninstalled. They have a lot of work to do in order to compete with MS.
If you cant afford MS office then this is ok. If you can, rather stick to office.
