Nope.


But then again, I have a special MS subscription that gives me their whole MSDN catalog and not just restricted to development/testing

We get a technet subscription every year for $250-ish. Gives us every Microsoft OS/Software package ever, pretty much.

$99 seems like a pretty sweet deal for all of that, but I'll be honest and say I haven't priced it either.

If you are still using 2003 I'd go for it, but if you are using 2007 I wouldn't bother (my personal opinion)

That's at least 2 beers! But you're right, I just signed up for it.

::Edit:: The download version only costs me $9.95, but to get a backup DVD...they're charging an EXTRA $13.00. So I guess total cost is 23 bucks since I want the backup disc.

I'm sure I could figure it out, but it's not worth 13 bucks of time investment. :P

Just burn the installer onto a disc, or store it on a flash drive...

1) OpenOffice.org
2) LibreOffice
3) Google docs


are all free alternatives that are compatible with office formats.

In all fairness, I thought Sun announced last year that they were not going to support OO anymore and many moved over to Libre office, or whatever, I have not tried Libre yet though.
