    And I was wondering how long this thing is going to last? it seemed to have 'deleted' my older version. I downloaded the installler via softpedia so I don't have a registration key but I can still use office for I'm not sure how long.

    Any comments would be appreciated

    You are asked to pay to have the full version. Definitely not worth it, you should get OpenOffice instead.

    Yeah. The only reason I have Office '07 is because I had trouble making a PPT in OO last semester. But there's really nothing O7 does that OO can't, and I would recommend getting that if you can't get O7 for free.
