RE: [PcTech] Office 2003 pricing - is it high? or me?

["Jones, John (US)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All things considered, Office is way too expensive for the productivity
you get from using it.  Not too expensive for the functions it comes
with, but too expensive for the value the average user will got out of
it.

While at work we'll be sticking with and upgrading Office, I'm sticking
with Office2K at home.  Any future personal upgrades will most likely be
to OpenOffice.

Am I the only one that sees a problem with MS Office pricing?

Upgrading this one suite costs as much as an entry level PC?

Hmmm....Let me guess, no one is upgrading anymore and we are all going
to become MySQL experts.
