I am so happy! I can get Office 2003 to make studying my courses so much easier

Re: I got Windows 2k on this bitch
Or you could get OpenOffice 3.0 and make doing everything ever so much easier (and free).

Re: I got Windows 2k on this bitch
But you can DOWNLOAD FOR FREE OpenOffice 3.0 which is so much better! And it can read those pesky Office 07 .docx files without a patch. It can read most anything you'll run into without a patch in fact. And can write to anything you need without a patch. And is alot easier to use. And is awesomeness.

Re: I got Windows 2k on this bitch
Well, I need Office 2003 to study my course. I have to learn the entire Office 2003 software package... Can't wait until I can get to the real stuff of my course...

Re: I got Windows 2k on this bitch
Oh, you have one of THOSE kinds of courses.
Why are you even bothering with those?
Also, unless they check you doing it, the teacher is unlikely to be able to tell the difference in results between the two.

Re: I got Windows 2k on this bitch
Well, for one, I have to study this stuff to be certified as a technician. Two, open office sucks. It's a poorly coded memory whore and it's not compatible with word at all. It's even more buggy than Word.

Re: I got Windows 2k on this bitch
What are you talking about? Have you tried OpenOffice 3? Or 2 for that matter? I've never noticed it take up much memory at all, it works tremendously better than Word, and it is FAR more compatible with EVERYTHING than Word.
ITS MORE COMPATIBLE WITH WORD THAN WORD!!! Seriously, no patch needed on OpenOffice 3.0 to read/write docx, unlike any version of word before 2007.
Also, which certification are you gettting? A+, Microsoft, Other? I'm assuming since you need word you aren't getting Cisco anyway.

Re: I got Windows 2k on this bitch
Who needs a office suite when you've got Wordpad, Notepad, Paint and Windows Slide Show?

Re: I got Windows 2k on this bitch
College students writing papers at the last minute which need to be numbered, formated, have footnotes, certain margin lengths, spell checked, and so on.
Also, I don't have those things. I'm using good programs.

Re: I got Windows 2k on this bitch
Wordpad can do all of that which you just listed.

Re: I got Windows 2k on this bitch
Actually, Wordpad can't do ANY of the things he listed. I'm looking at the program right now just to make sure too. Plus it's a crappy program, along with Paint. There are internet applications that are infinitely better than Paint. Notepad is good for hard coding, though, I'll give you that one.

Re: I got Windows 2k on this bitch
Really? I thought it could... :/ Must have been thinking of something else. Oh well. AbiWord is pretty good though, but I don't have a need for it... yet.

Re: I got Windows 2k on this bitch
In any case, my Ubuntu comes with OpenOffice 3.0 preinstalled. And other programs for the other stuff which is cool.
