CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET staff on October 05, 2009

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. Its commands were instantly understandable and the entire process felt intuitive. The program's word processor was the spitting image of an older edition of Microsoft Word, right down to the design and colors. We were pleased to find the generous selection of fonts, formatting and spell-checking options we expect with Word. We were worried our files would be saved in some strange format, but were shocked to find they saved as Word 97 documents that were compatible with Word. Our experience was the same for the PowerPoint tool and the Excel tool. Both were also modeled after older editions and worked exactly like we would have hoped, saving files as their respective '97 versions. The program misguidedly attempted to add a special feature to set it apart, but its built-in Google search engine didn't seem necessary, especially as it took no more time to open a Web browser. Since everything worked so well, we found this program to basically be a much less expensive version of Microsoft's tools.

Kingsoft Office 2009 has a 100-day trial. It installs desktop icons without permission. We recommend it.

Publisher's description

Three essential and full featured office applications: Writer, Spreadsheets and Presentation are designed with the familiar Microsoft Office 2003 user interface and functionality. You will be surprised that many features work exactly the same way as Microsoft Office. Switching from Microsoft Office to Kingsoft Office requires no re-training. The Integrated Google Search toolbar provides one-click Internet search capabilities directly within each application. This integrated solution for creating, editing and viewing documents, spreadsheets and presentations uses the same document format as Microsoft Office (2000/XP/2003). Even the latest Microsoft Office 2007 documents (.DOCX) and spreadsheet (.XLSX) can be opened in Kingsoft Office 2009. Export to Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) directly from any application. Convert documents, spreadsheets and presentations into this widely accepted format for quick and easy online distribution. With a download size of less than 50MB, this is the smallest and quickest Microsoft Office alternative on the market. Any organization can significantly save their deployment cost with this product and benefit from minimal system requirements. Pricing starts at $59.95 and allows installation on up to three (3) different systems at the same time. Affordable Site and Corporate Licenses allow easy software license management and provide unbeatable cost-efficiency. Kingsoft Office is not based on an OpenOffice.org source.
