Is there a way to get it cheap besides stealing obviously? I do not have any vers. of office and only have word 2000 on my laptop.

I saw this and wonder if it is legit and if any college students actually got this...

Office 2007 should not be avoided unless you're a caveman. the XML format(.docx, .xlsx, etc) that is now used by Office 2007 is what will soon be the standard. In many settings it already is the standard. Office 2003 won't be able to open files created in Office 2007 by default. If you use Word for more than just personal type/print functions, you're going to need 07 eventually.

It's a free, open-source productivity suite that uses MS Office compatible file types. It's not as full featured as the MS version of course, but it's typically sufficient for the normal, everyday home user.

Sure. Give it a try. It's not like it costs you anything.

I agree with the 07 version being a lot faster to use once you get use to it.
