Ian Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I got a free copy of Office 2007 a few months ago Im sure if you searched for the right thing in google you would find what your looking for May take a while to download depending on your connection **Disclaimer** I do not condone the illegal downloading of sotware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_350z Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Proliferation of a bloated, expensive, anti-competitive product is worse that illegal downloads - why break the law when OpenOffice will do more than Sarnie needs. If Sarnie needs something that isn't in OpenOffice then I'll eat my wotsit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I used to use Open Office in a previous job & although for a free product it is very good I just did not get on with it aswell as I do with office. Its just personal preference - Ive grown up always using MS products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you dont, stick with 2003. 2007 looks stupid, they've moved every menu and button around and it stinks. Stick with 2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Concur - office 2003 is what we use in the office, 2007 is just over bloated and restyled in the cartoon like feel of win xp for no particular reason. Liam, just a word of caution, if you are planning on using any software that is not quite legit for business use, you may want to check out the fines and restrictions that can be imposed on a business found to be using such software, and consider whether its worse the risk. If you buy a cheap hard drive, you can buy the oem version. The oem version of office 2007 is about £145 ex vat. Whereas the full retail package is nearer £300. Either way, the fines that could be imposed if a business were found to be using dodgy software would far outweigh the cost of the software itself.

M13KYF Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 by microsoft. Everytime you surf, your computer sends a little file to Microsoft with a list of all the software your running, or so I'm led to believe. How do you think it knows when you need updating.

Plus I ain't using it for business use Someone who worked for us got the sack (caught smoking twice on site) within the 6months trial period and realised as on trial couldnt take us to a tribuneral for unfair dismissal, so tried to get his own back, thinking we didnt have correct legit software, snitched us up. Not sure who the people were but our IT department sorted it and proved that all our software was legit. Apparently if it wernt we would of faced court and a £10,000 fine plus fees.
