I just bought Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 when I bought the "Clean install" XP thingy so I could get rid of windows 98SE. It has Word 2003, Excel 2003, Outlook 2003, PowerPoint 2003 of course, but it's only like 150 dollars :D. I don't know how much difference the two programs are, but everything seems cool on mine. I like it, when I had windows 98SE I had microsoft works 2000... that was WEAK. :rolleyes:

(From Microsoft) What's in each edition? (http://www.microsoft.com/office/editions/howtobuy/default.mspx)

I put the link because there's so many different "Microsoft Office".. programs that maybe some who haven't may want to compare.

Ebay: http://search.ebay.com/office-2003_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZR8

has quite a few good deals going on with software. Several versions of the office suite are available... Honestly though, the freeware Openoffice is just as good, and $100-400 could do a lot of good elsewhere in the financial department.

Thanks guys...

Anyway, I'm still happy with the MS 0ffice 2003 (S&T Edition), even though it wasn't free. I'm kind of dumb with computers and I like working with what I'm used to. Then I don't have to stress if something goes wrong.

Academic versions are great, I wish I knew more while back at uni, cos I would have bought heaps of O/S, apps etc

It was a great comparison article though, we are looking to upgrade office suite using office2k, but havent rolled out office2k3 for site, but our building only has 6 PCs, so openoffice will work great ;)

I must admit any Office Suite of Applications will suite most users as long as compatibility issues are not a consideration – like say you email spreadsheets all over the place Excel will rule as most that that

Sure each to there own and way(s) of working the draw back is M$ Office is packing VBA and thus the conversation ends with the programmers power this is the by far the daddy of Office Suite – Lotus did code in the back bone was hard and never really took off and so M$ still is bar far the lead runner.

All boils don to what Your going to do and how it knocks on Your working environment – good call!
