Hi :) Kingsoft has been around for years but never got much market-share. I like the idea of tabs and quite like that it has a ribbon-bar. Tabs are not new. At least one other Office Suite used tabs but used them very differently.
Of course i prefer LibreOffice/OpenOffice/NeoOffice/Lotus Symphony, or Google-docs, or Caligra/KOffice or Gnome Office but it's good to see the alternatives to MS Office are beginning to be more widely recognised. When competition is fair LibreOffice rises to the top but it's still healthier for the market to have choices rather than be dominated by a single profit-making company.
