Then again, $3 for what most people use can be a good thing.

Honestly, I don't see much usage for Office 2000, XP, or 2003. I still have Office 2000 Pro on my laptop, because XP was a nightmare to configure, and because I'll wait for a new x86 PC to get 2003. Dell practically gives it away with Optiplex desktops, and IBM does the same with ThinkPad laptops.

Since my next computer will more than likely be another ThinkPad, I can wait

.

I still keep it around, however. There are a lot of people that run it. Especially with the number of corporate and small vertical apps that use it as a back end.
