COREL releases Home Office suit for netbooks
With the growing popularity of netbooks, even software vendors have started to show immense interest in netbooks. Now, Corel has released a Home Office suit that is specially tailored for the netbooks. Some analysts kept saying that netbooks are just good enough for plain web-surfing and some light media on-the-go, but we knew that they can do much more than that.
The Corel Home Office is a 3-app suit that can handle Word, Excel and Powerpoint presentations on a netbook easily. Corel is selling the Home Office suit for $69.
Commentary: So many ‘experts’ say that you can only run basic office applications on a netbook as they are under-powered. Well, I am happily running Microsoft Office 2007 on my EEE 1000H. Heck, I even do audio-editing on my netbooks without any problem.
Here is a screenshot of Office 2007 running on my EEE 1000H. You can see that I am running a lot of applications at the same time including 3 firefox Windows each containing 6 tabs; Chrome with 4 tabs opened; Word 2007 and Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. I do not experience any slowness, while running any of the aforementioned apps.
