OpenOffice

Johnostrowick reviewed on 04 May 2011

Ugly and flaky, difficult to use by comparison to Pages, but if you're used to MS Office, this is similar. My only reason for recommending it is that it uses the UNIX printing system/CUPS to generate the PDF, rather than Quartz, which is useful if you have to deal with Lulu, the arrogant online publishers, who refuse to allow mac users to use Quartz.

[Version 3.4.0]

Art Text

This completely wins. I can import PDFs and other vector art and turn it into gumdrop/aqua/waterdrop shiny logos that make my clients wet themselves with excitement.

[Version 2.3.2]

EasyBatchPhoto

Johnostrowick reviewed on 25 Mar 2011

A good program to do batch resizing and watermarking of images. I use it often. I used to use PhotoShop's batch tool but when I moved to an intel machine, I noticed that my old copy of photoshop running under rosetta made my machine run hot. So I replaced it with Pixelmator and EasyBatchPhoto. good enough!

MacUpdate Desktop

Johnostrowick reviewed on 25 Mar 2011

Well done but a bit technical and intimidating-looking. Also a bit worrying that it wants to try update apps that weren't bought from mupromo.com, especially apps bought from the apple app store. EESH. Keep away from that please, don't want apple to de-license my apps!

[Version 5.0.8]

Parallels Desktop

Johnostrowick reviewed on 25 Mar 2011

5 stars because it has seamless integration with Mac OS X, making Windows(tm) almost invisible, except for a start menu. You can just drag and drop between the two OSes. Other emulators/virtual machines aren't nearly as cool.

[Version 6.0.11994.637263]
