WPS Office suite

[Valtam]

We got this query via email a few months back, here is what I replied with...

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. We've looked at Kingsoft Office and whilst its a good suite, changing mid stream to a whole new suite is not something we want to put our audience through. An office suite is a major part of our distribution, consistency and familiarity are important in this regard. To make our audience go from MS Office > LibreOffice > Kingsoft Office in 2 releases is contrary to this approach. There is also the consideration that because Kingsoft copies from Microsoft's design they are extremely vulnerable to being shutdown at anytime. That scenario would leave our audience in a very unfair and unsupported situation, with again the inconvenience of changing Office suites once more.

Thank you again, happy computing.
