What's in a name? 'ThinkFree', think not...
This just has me wondering....
“ThinkFree® is the leader in next-generation productivity solutions for platform independent, anytime, anywhere-computing. ThinkFree usability extends beyond PCs and is perfect for Internet-connected devices, including thin client and mobile computing platforms.” .... so their site says...fine... their product, ThinkFree Office 3, is a Microsoft Office competitor (which shares a bizarrely, similar name). Good I say. Helps drive innovation...
Note however, that although I know little else about the project, I find the name “ThinkFree” highly ironic. They currently charge $49.95 for their download edition of Office 3. Clearly not free. You may consider that a nominal amount for an Office suite (I haven't evaluated it so I really can't say if it's 'fairly priced'), but it's not free. Cool name maybe, but not representative of the truth. Free is free. Not $49, not $29 not $9, free. ThinkFree? Think again. Maybe ThinkCheaper.... it is cheaper, better? I dunno... but cheaper. That it is.
Maybe I will just refer to them as “ThinkCheaper”. What do you think?
Here's the ThinkCheaper Office site: http://www.thinkfree.com/ ... if you want their free version of Office, it's available for just $49.95....
