#3 I am still using Microsoft Office 97.
The 1997 version works pretty good on Windows XP.
Plus it is portable.
I have a 60 MB folder with Word and Excel that I can copy to any XP computer and run without installing.
I plan on upgrading to Excel to 2003 only to get the Analysis Toolpak Addin so I can convert from DEC2HEX for partitioning and formatting hard disks and for NTFS hacking work.

Apache bought them out. Open Office has been in use since at least 2000.

That's rich.

#6 Our IT department likes the subscription version, which is useless for those of us in the field who much of the time have very limited internet access. And if you don't connect to the net often enough, they like to disable your laptop. Sometimes I wonder if they actually understand they work for an oilfield services company.

#7 I'm still using Office 2000; maybe I'll upgrade to this version in ten years.
