Query: How I Learned to Stop Spending, and Switch to StarOffice

I think using MS Office is like smoking; OK, not deadly, but you don't realize how much money you're spending every day or year on stuff you don't need. Put together all the money you've spent on MS Office products in your lifetime, and it might be more than is in your 401k depending on how you did in the last couple years of the stock market.MS Office does work. Yes. Sometimes when I used it I would get the blue screen of death, sometimes not. It had its problems but we used it because we had to use it. Because everyone else used it and we had to, too.StarOffice does the same stuff, handles the same file formats, costs soooo much less money. OpenOffice.org, ditto, and free. The decision isn't really a hard one about whether MS Office is worth buying. You don't need MS Office to make MS Office files (StarOffice opens and creates Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files).Get StarOffice or OpenOffice.org and keep your money; Microsoft has enough.
