For most ordinary office work needing the use of word processing, spreadsheet and presentation applications, there is no longer a need to purchase MS Office licenses. The open source and free software called OpenOffice is now a very stable and feature rich application that should gid rid of the excuse to use pirated MS Office software. OpenOffice for Windows is available for download on the Internet at www.openoffice.org. Unlike MS Office, you can use and share your copy of OpenOffice to anybody without restriction.
