Microsoft Office - Where to buy?

[G~MAN]

People of PCR,

I'm having a little bit of trouble trying to locate a website where I can buy Microsoft Office 2003.

I have heard 2007 is pretty shite, so I would rather get the 2003 version.

Do any of you guys and gals know where I could pick up this software? on the cheap prefferably!

Cheers

Are you a student G-Man? As there are a few really cheap ways to get it if you are

I am Ian, would it be easier to purchase when I my term begins? Please tell me how

And Itsme, I searched for ages on Amazon, I don't know why they didn't come up when I did so! Can I use a second hand copy though?

Near the start of University terms, Microsoft normally sell Office 2007 Ultimate really cheap from this site:

http://www.theultimatesteal.co.uk

It was £30 for an owned license or £12/year - depending on how you wanted to pay for it. Bargain

However, this is the 2007 version not 2003 like you wanted. As someone who upgraded from 2003 > 2007, I prefer this newer version by miles It has a new menu bar which some people don't like - but it does work well once you get used to it. The graphics and excel charting features are greatly improved, as well as better file saving formats

Also, while we're here, what is the best package?

I think Microsoft Office Standard 2007 would suit my needs.. or is there better?

It depends really - what sort of applications will you need for your course? Word is certain, but I guess you'd also need Powerpoint and Excel. If that's all then the standard edition is ideal If you think you'll also need database capability then you might need a higher version
