Re: What office suite is compatible with Windows ME ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Unfortunately, many open source programs (excluding star office and oo.o)
are poor quality with no documentation.

| Actually, the most sensible colleges and universities only require

| The only offline software most students need is a decent word
| processor, and there are many cheaper options than Word.

| Note also that I didn't claim everyone should buy a new computer. As

| consideration. The advantage of newer Macs is that OS X is
| essentially a Unix variant, which means that most GNU and other open
| source software can compile without any more modifications than
| provided by autoconf. The same is not true for Windows.
