Kingsoft Office 2009 was recently reviewed by CNET. Familiarity with Microsoft Office was the biggest asset that provided instant usability.
Below is an excerpt from the review:
Kingsoft Office 2009 provides an excellent facsimile of Microsoft Office’s three biggest programs. With a pitch-perfect look and functionality, we were highly swayed by this program. Since we had a familiarity with Microsoft Office, we jumped right into this program’s word processing, PowerPoint presentation, and spreadsheet making capabilities…Since everything worked so well, we found this program to basically be a much less expensive version of Microsoft’s tools.

I’ve just downloaded and installed Kingsoft Office 2012, the interface feels right at home compared to openoffice or other free/opensource office alternative.
@Officeguy I’ve tried to change my windows date setting to 2013 and it did not ask for a license.
Let’s see if it’s stable and runs well, i would remove IBM Lotus Symphony from my computer.
