I've used Hangeul 2007 now and then.......it's not so bad.....just a Korean rip-off of MS Word.

It's the incompatibility that's the problem. I don't understand why Koreans feel they need their own word processing software when most other countries don't. Do the French or Italians have their own word processing software that's incompatible with MS and others?

I've heard it's widespread because the government offices are told to use it.....including the education department.

I believe Microsoft was pretty slow in adapting its office suite to Korean.
Plus Made in Korea is seen as a plus.

Also price. The home version of hangul is a lot cheaper than the MS home version.

Ironically the Hangul makers were on the verge of bankruptcy because of piracy. But a government campaign to support the development of local software makers put an end to that.

I finally got Hangul 2007 off emule and I must say it's not too bad, and it's much easier than trying unsuccessfully for years to get colleagues to send me .doc files.


you wouldn't be able to upload it as a torrent would you?


Yeah no problems. Any particular site?
