I am starting to use Open Office - and I like it alot - just a few quirks to get used to. I just learned that through my employer - I qualify for the MS EPP program - Employer Purchase Program. I can get Office for $200 - full install professional version. But I am only a big user of word processing and spreadsheets. Its a great deal - but I am wondering if it would truly be worth the $200 being that Open Office is what it is.
 
Don't buy the software unless you need it for a certain application......

Took me years to realize that the software I bought, cause "I should have it"
just sat in the hard drive, unused because I had no use for it...

All the ice cream I could have had ..........yummmmm
 
no, i just download it tho. if you are against piracy, then just get open office. its extremely good and is free.
 
I use Outlook more than any other application, so for me it would be worth it. Your mileage may vary, however.
 
If you are just a student or doing persona word stuff, don't get it, it isn't worth it. However, if you are exchanging documents with a lot of people, than it is easier to have the same format as everyone else. Word won't interpret formatting from other programs very well (I wonder why!!), so I would get Office if you are going to do that...and yes, Outlook is great!
