Free alternative to Microsoft Office products that contains a word processor, presentation software and spreadsheet software similar to Excel.

WPS Office (formerly Kingsoft Office) is the completely free version of the award-winning office suite that was developed to compete against the giant Microsoft Office. Though it doesn't contain all of the features you might need in a business environment, the free version of this software bundle is suitable for high school pupils or the occasional writer.

Featuring 3 main products, WPS Office includes a clone of Word, a clone of Excel and one of Powerpoint; with that said, it is able to edit and save files produced by those three Microsoft Office products and does it with a lot more speed and less system resources than its Microsoft counterparts.

The main reason why this suite outperforms the expensive products that Microsoft sells is mainly because it includes less features which business normally demand. But if you're sitting at home and you want to read or create a Word (.doc) document, then this program is great.

So if you want to install this program and you're moving away from a Microsoft-dominated environment, then just remember:

Microsoft Word -> WPS Office Writer.
Microsoft Excel -> WPS Office Spreadsheet.
Microsoft Powerpoint -> WPS Office Presenter.
