The : software I am considering buying is for "teachers and students". Is there : any reason I shouldn't be buying this package? well you CAN save all the money you would spend on it, spent a little time downloading OpenOffice as recommeded and at least try it. It is 100% compatible with Microsoft office and MS office is 100% compatible with the former. I don't think you'll find the MS version can do anything more for you than openoffice does other than deprive you of cash ;) Many who have used it prefer the smaller size and speed. k
