Get office ultimate 2007 for £38.95 - I believe this is the second year they've done it now as I took advantage of it last year as a student. It certainly makes it a lot more affordable. The one office I use quite a bit at the university has only open office as the office suite on one of the computers. It's amazing how many people it drives mad, to the point they refuse to use it and try to swap with the person on the machine with the whole microsoft office suite on it. Perhaps we have to start using these alternatives earlier on for them to be accepted.
