No worries haha. Easy to quote me as let's be honest, I am normally the one posting controversually (however it's spelt yeh) lolOriginally Posted by The Professor
I'm not advocating that it's right to steal, just that it doesn't matter whether the price is £3 or £300. If you'd rather put it towards something else or don't have that money spare pirating it makes sense if you can live with the moral and legal consequences. Whatever the price you're still screwing with the developer's business model. Yes there are free alternatives but they're never as good as the market leaders.
Sorry Dom I didn't mean to target you

But seriously, when it's only £30 for a student to buy something that normally costs upwards of £150 - £400 (depending on the version), it's a steal tbh, and you'll get Office 2010 or 2007
Have fun

There are plenty of free replicas around. I have Star Office which I got free with my course, fairly sure it's free elsewhere anyway if you find it but if not there are still loads of other office-type programs that don't cost a penny, if you don't mind not having the paperclip talking to you.

Apparently changed its name in 2010 but StarOffice 9 was a product from 2008 so took their time to change the name lols Originally Posted by FlyingJesus
