![]() So you have basically the same office suite, with the same look and feel, stripped of its programming language and twenty dollars and you have Ashampoo. ![]() Outside of that the only difference is the price and the fact that Ashampoo Office doesn’t include BasicMaker (programming language add-on). The most glaring difference in the rebranding is that, unlike Softmaker Office, Ashampoo is ONLY available for Windows. You can download a free trial version of Ashampoo Office 2010 from the TechRepublic Software Library. So, why the rebranding? And is the rebranding of Softmaker Office worth the $59.00 price tag, when the “official” Softmaker Office can be purchased for just twenty dollars more? But did you include Ashampoo Office 2010? Probably not, and with good reason because for some suspect reason the various parts of Ashampoo are called: If I ask you how many office suites there are, what would your answer be? One? Two? Three? Microsoft Office, OpenOffice, KOffice, GNOME Office, iWork, Lotus Symphony, Siag Office, SoftMaker Office – the list goes on and on. If OpenOffice is too big and runs too slowly and you don't want to pay the full price for Microsoft Office you might be the perfect candidate for Ashampoo Office 2010.
