Bought a legit Office 2007 copy in Hong Kong (yes, I know), but really, for about £100 4 months ago, containing Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, Publisher and Access. Base language was Chinese, but can install in English as well.

Have used 'suspect' copies in the past costing just a few quid, but went legit. At that price, I think most people would. I think Micro$ofts pricing policy works against them at times (unless they actually want to solely get market penetration and are prepared to accept high levels of counterfeit software to achieve that goal).

Product is registered, updates and no worries - cam ein the original MS packaging etc etc with all the holograms etc - and even better value than Student/Teacher packages.

[rant]Why can M$ not distinguish between Corporate and low intensity home users in their pricing policy.[/rantoff]
