This is  not a site that promotes voyeurism by allowing you to furtively peer into  offices and see people slacking off while getting paid hundreds of thousands of  dollars a month. It won&#8217;t let you see the president of Ford Motor Company  playing Angry Birds on his iPhone while sitting in his posh $30 million office,  either. You won&#8217;t see any hanky-panky with these viewers. It&#8217;s too bad though.  We just might be tacky if there were such programs. What really goes on inside  EB&#8217;s office? Oh wait, her office is a lawn chair, a TV tray, and a bottle of  Maalox &#8211; very similar to TC&#8217;s office.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway (I love that word), the Office Viewers we are talking about, allow  those of you who are broke and cannot afford to shell out $400.00+ for MS  Office, or who don&#8217;t want to download a 100MB+ free office program, or are too  lazy to use Google docs &#8211; to view the files created by your rich yuppie friends  who can afford not only one, but multiple copies of Microsoft Office  Professional. It also allows those of you who are new to being poor and still  using your old MS Office 97 &#8211; to view files created by your more affluent  friends, who are using MS Office 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft, in its magnanimity, now offers all of us poor folks really cool  free viewers so that we can view and maybe even make sense out of all those  really cool MS Office Access, Excel. PowerPoint, Word, et. al. files created by  our wealthy friends and rich, but stingy family members who use the latest  version of Microsoft Office. Yippee for us poor folk! It pays to be poor! We can  see clearly now, thanks to the good and truly altruistic nature of good old  Microsoft.<\/p>\n<p>And, we know you&#8217;re dying to know what Microsoft has to say about these nifty  goodies, they are giving away, to help those of us with meager means to see the  glorious light of MS Office. So, here you go. We introduce you to Mr.  Microsoft:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;&#8230;With the help of converters and viewers from Office Online, you can  share your Microsoft Office files with people who have different versions of  Office programs, or even with people who don&#8217;t have Office  installed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Converters allow you to open files created by people using  different versions of your Office programs.<\/p>\n<p><em>Viewers provide a means for  people who don&#8217;t have Office programs to see your work. You can provide them  with the appropriate viewer along with your Office files&#8230;.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, enough of this! We know you want these viewers! After you install the  correct viewers for your computer, when your &#8220;oh-my-she-married-well-friend&#8221;,  Ms. Penelope Finecrass III, sends you all her Excel spreadsheets, gloating about  her income &#8211; you&#8217;ll be able to gawk at it with amazement, admiration and even  astonishment! Why? Because thanks to these MS Office Viewers, you&#8217;ll actually be  able to see all those big numbers &#8211; instead looking at hodgepodge of  gobbledygook and pretending you actually could see what it said. Nothing is  better than viewing really big numbers neatly aligned in really tight,  pastel-colored columns! I know it makes me melt and EB shiver with delight.<\/p>\n<p>So we offer you not one, not two, not three, not four, but multiple freeware  picks this week. We make the best of poverty so we can make poverty work for  you!  <a href=\"http:\/\/office.microsoft.com\/en-us\/downloads\/HA010449811033.aspx\">Go get  all your free viewers<\/a> and join us in reveling in all the best that poverty  has to offer. <a href=\"http:\/\/office.microsoft.com\/en-us\/downloads\/HA010449811033.aspx\">Office  Viewers &#8211; multiple freeware picks<\/a> and that means (or sometimes means) it  might really be worth your while to take a look! Free stuff from Microsoft?  Well, I&#8217;ll be!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nah, in spite of what you might think, we&#8217;re not that tacky&#8230;.yet.
