Simdesk is a software company whose main goal is delivering a thin client alternative to Microsoft's Office suite. In 2001 the city of Houston signed a deal with Simdesk licensing the use of Simdesk's software on all their PCs and free for use for the citizens of Houston. The deal was controversial as the deal might have been prearranged. [1] Simdesk did not have any previous real-world experience with its software, and at the time of release, the software lacked many features present in Microsoft Office. In 2004, the state of Indiana announced that it would make Simdesk available to its residents. [2] The software is apparently still available today [3] (for Windows only [4]).
Simdesk is now primarily aiming at third world markets.
