They really should care about Office piracy.

Office costs from $100 - $500 depending on version.

XP costs way less, and they make you "activate" it.

i'm wondering if they are just making it office 2k7 or applying it to some older ones.

I have 2 legit copies of office 2k3...but have only been using 1 key. hmm

It was bound to happen. Open Office is free atleast if M$ Office becomes too expensive for regular folks like myself

So will this effect those of us who have a version of Office, using the same product key, on three different home computers?

I have to go home ad read my eula...I forget how many installs they allow us. I just used 1 key cuz I was lazy.

I know the Student/Teacher edition allows up to three.

I think the others technically only allow for one install, but it's like Windows XP, you can usually activate it a few times without any problems.
