And I suppose all of your CDs, DVDs, and games are legit copies as well? In the realm of education, we do what we can, which means "stealing" clipart, printing others' lesson plans, pasting text from websites, and, yes, sometimes using software that will ensure our students will get the best lesson possible. If we had to write for permission everytime we wanted to make a photocopy or use an image, our students would suffer--not the corporate giants that produce these things.

I certainly have my fair share of pirated stuff. The only issue I would have with using a pirated version of Word or any MS product is they're an easy target for hackers inserting nasty viruses.

All I know is that XP SP 1 is much older than the latest version. That's what happens with pirated software though. The updates are turned off and then the OS becomes...outdated.

Also, for resumes I format it in word and save it as a .pdf using acrobat Pro, but that is a selling point of OpenOffice.

Just a heads up for anyone who uses a mac. Open Ofiiice is now availible for mac as is the pre-existing Neo Office. I have both and they are both decent software suites. They run considerably faster on Macs than Ms Office 2004 does and just a notch slower than the new iWork 08 software. For most basic uses the Neo and Open office suites are very good.
