DocBlaster 'D-Day Outflanks Office - Windows Upgrade Nexus

DocBlaster introduces its non-Microsoft 'super substitute upgrade path for MS Office users - backwards compatible with Windows 95 onwards. D-Days intuitive document search, display, security and distribution control services - are initially being made available for as little as $6 per user, per year.

(PRWEB) June 8, 2005 -- DocBlaster today launched its first 'super substitute for use within Microsoft Office 2000 onwards. Code-named 'D-Day, the software features better-targeted most-wanted functionality for a fraction of Microsofts traditional upgrade cost.

We are offering access to D-Days intuitive document search, display, security and distribution control services - initially for as little as $6 per business user, per year," says Eric Wilson, IT journalist and software inventor. Some of D-Days features substitute for similar in Office 2003, while others have never been seen before. DocBlaster D-Day is a non-Microsoft upgrade path, which doesnt prevent users from upgrading with Microsoft later if they choose -- so its a super substitute."

, Eric Wilson says. So theres no need to upgrade your operating system - which often forces a hardware upgrade too. DocBlaster D-Day is designed to get people off that treadmill.

, Eric Wilson says. This means some people might want a faster processor - but only at their option when theyre ready. D-Day never triggers the issue as a traditional upgrade might.

Eric Wilson points out. But DocBlaster's view is super substitutes will provide real competition and real choice to over 300-million users.

Super substitutes work on Windows 95 onwards", Eric Wilson says. So theres no need to upgrade your operating system - which often forces a hardware upgrade too. DocBlaster D-Day is designed to get people off that treadmill."

Using Mulberry, DocBlaster D-Day colonizes part of Microsoft Office to provide additional functionality - without forcing multiple upgrades or new learning curves. So unlike traditional upgrades, super substitutes are also free of new platform-related bugs or security risks -- drastically reducing deployment complexity and cost. Despite this, some users may wish to upgrade anyway.

Automatic document reformatting and intuitive folder search is fairly CPU intensive", Eric Wilson says. This means some people might want a faster processor - but only at their option when theyre ready. D-Day never triggers the issue as a traditional upgrade might."

DocBlaster D-Day only provides document search, display, security and distribution control. Therefore end users may wish to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2003 for unrelated reasons. Either way, DocBlaster D-Day is fully compatible. Its compiled Office interfaces use the same standard programming calls corporate Office developers use for their customized applications. Therefore, unless Microsoft abandons these, super substitutes should work with future versions of Office too -- with little or no modification.

Microsoft made a record profit late last year, mainly on Windows and Office products that shipped way back in 2001 and 2003," Eric Wilson points out. But DocBlaster's view is super substitutes will provide real competition and real choice to over 300-million users."

For a limited time, end users wishing to help the super substitute cause can make a contribution to the DocBlaster Progress Fund - which also qualifies them for deeply discounted D-Day subscriptions. DocBlaster D-Day is due to ship at the end of the year, with a Flash demonstration of Beta 1 now available at www.docblaster.com.

In September 2005, DocBlaster will announce the finalised names under which D-Day and Mulberry will be made generally available.
