I had a better one
I had to install a copy of MS Office 2003 on a new laptop, since
he wanted to "read" the PowerPoints he gets from a service.
He did not want the free reader or a FREE copy of OpenOffice.org
that could read/write those presentations.
He did not want to pay the price to get the full version from the
trialware
MS Office (of course the newest version sucks) so he was able to get a
Office 2003 student version from a university.
I occasionally get a request from someone to install a "borrowed" copy
of MS Office. I tell them I will only install a copy they actually
bought. Once they check the prices, it's usually easier to get them to
try OpenOffice. On one occasion, when I was doing some support work at
IBM, one person asked me how to copy the files off their work computer,
so they could install MS Office at home!!!

I know what you mean
This copy of Office was OK since he got it legally from the University.
This was one of the good things about "higher" ed. Yuo can get student
versions of software for low prices. The only downside can be the fact
that many of these version are not able to be updated to the next version.
But, the cost is less than a Full version. First time I used this for
myself,
I got $2000 worth of software for under $250 at the student store.
