I am new to the netbook world.  I recently received a Wind U123 as a gift, which I completely love.  When it comes to using it, there are a few essential elements:  internet, music, virus/spyware protection, and MS Office.  Now, I did worry about Office possibly using up too many resources on my Wind, as well as its pretty expensive.  Plus, I really hate Office 2007.

Well, it looks like ThinkFree has come to my rescue.  They have created ThinkFree Mobile Office suite for netbooks, which is a word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation programs that are compatiable with MS Office.  Plus, they are optimized for running on a netbook with a screen resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.

This suite has quite a few features:

• Not only can use it on your netbook, but you can sync it with your desktop, smartphone, or MID.
• Look at documents on the go with your phone, and then update them on your netbook.
• Think Free also offers 2GB of free on-line storage, which is just great for backing up your work.

If you are not running a MS operating system, no worries, the office suite is compatible with Mac and Linux as well.  You can get all of this for $39.95, but if you buy now you can save $15 and receive an extra 1GB of storage.  Gee, I kind of feel like Billy Mays.  Anyway, I have to say that this is a great idea for all the new legions of netbook owners out there.
