Don't Want to Fork Out Hundreds of Dollars For Microsoft Office? Check Out Zoho.

In my long lasting crusade to help small business reduce our dependence on Microsoft and find affordable software, I recently ran across an interested website called Zoho.  Zoho offers an impressive suite of applications for individuals and business users.  From word processes to CRM (Customer Relationship Management) to database development Zoho seems to cover the needs of almost any small business.  The New York Times recently reviewed Zoho’s word processing features and concluded they beat Google Apps and even present a valid challenge to Microsoft.  And of course one of my favorite features is that many of the applications are free.
