Reviews
“But for the first time, I'm ready to recommend this new version as a viable alternative to Microsoft's offering.
It still has rough edges, but it has an impressive feature set, a generally lucid interface, pure open-source credentials, and - in the current economic
climate - the decisive advantage of being absolutely free.”--PC Magazine
