[edit] Brief Description

Software applications intended to be used by typical clerical and knowledge workers. Also adapted for consumers and small businesses.

Synonyms: Business software

Tags: knowledge workers, small businesses

[edit] Wiki description

The Office and Business class covers a wide range of applications. Of course, most popular are the office suites, spellcheckers and editors, but you'll also find affiliate marketing tools and accounting software.

Since most of the products in this class are commercial, the piracy rate is very high. According to BSA, 68% of the eastern europeans and 66% of the americans were using pirated business software in 2006.
