I didn't say anything about a student version, but just to be clearer. The school was UoP. The students are by and large working professionals. In the technical majors, 99.9% of them have their own laptops with their own copies of Office. The copies in questions were not student versions. > > > I dont have a copy of office 2000 installed anywhere, home or not... however > I > frequently use office 95 still vmware install of win95 ive been using for a > LONG time... I can completely transfer files between both '95 and 2003 and > 2007, as long as I make sure i save it in the older formats... I have Office 4.3 Professional, Office 97, Office 2000, and Office 2003. Maintaining compatibility between them all can be a PITA. So, I use Open Office 2.x, even here at work where everyone else uses Office 2003. No one here is any the wiser as they have yet to complain that they can't open any of my documents. (I create and modify company Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and Power Point presentations.)
