Corel Corporation, developer of graphics, productivity and digital media software, has introduced the first public beta of Corel WordPerfect Lightning, a free word processing and note taking software. The software is designed to enable users to link the benefits of online tools accessed over the Internet, with the features of a desktop productivity application. WordPerfect Lightning represents the first component of a new distribution and online services model for WordPerfect Office. WordPerfect Lightning claims to accelerate common productivity tasks, enabling users to consume, capture and re-use information and images faster and more easily than ever before. The software comprises of both, a desktop and online component, and offers free access to premium online services, such as collaboration and data storage along with one-click access to the full-featured Corel WordPerfect Office X3. Users receive 200MB of free online storage, plus shared calendaring, contacts and e-mail functionality. WordPerfect Lightning consists of four components: the Navigator, the Viewer, Lightning Notes, and the Connector. The Navigator is a central repository for the assembly and organization of content while the Viewer is an all-in-one document reading tool for the fast and simple viewing of documents in Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF, or Corel WordPerfect file formats. Lightning Notes is a lightweight word processor and note taking utility that acts as a universal container for ideas, information and images. The Connector, powered by Joyent, is a suite of Web-based applications for teams and small businesses that provides individual users with email, calendars, address books and file storage. These functions are hosted on the Web, enabling team members to share information and collaborate on projects. Richard Carriere, General Manager for Office Productivity at Corel said, "20 years ago, PC users started documents from a blank page. Today we spend most of our time consuming or reusing content, taking information from one place, whether it’s the Web, email, documents or other sources, and incorporating it somewhere else. By blending desktop and Web applications in WordPerfect Lightning, Corel is taking a truly hybrid approach to computing, enabling users to maximize their productivity by making it simpler and faster to gather, organize and share critical information." The WordPerfect Lightning beta, is now available as a free, 20 MB download available beginning today from here. The application's small size allows it to be distributed anywhere and easily transported on a USB stick or other storage device. Also, Corel recommends PC to download the new software and provide feedback on the product through the WordPerfect Lightning community. |
