Comparing Office Programs
« on: March 03, 2015, 09:14:50 PM »
I recently installed Softmaker Free Office for Windows and Kingsoft WPS Free Office for Windows.  Each of the downloads are about 60mb.  However, there is a big difference in the size of the installations.  Softmaker uses 84mb of space and Kingsoft uses 242mb of space.  Both programs include a word processor, spreadsheet, and a presentation program. 

I am wondering what would be the likely explanation for this significant difference and what this might say about the programs. 

Thanks for your help in understanding this.

The difference is that the kingsoft installer is higher compressed.
