No more updates! No more need to upgrade... I'm finding most people are too stupid to know how to file "save as" an older format. I go round and round with them--mostly government agencies who always seem to get the latest software--trying to teach them how to save their lousy .docx as a .doc!!! Once again Microsoft has chosen to screw everyone who bought their earlier versions, by forcing all of us to buy their new one. I refuse. They could easily release a converter for my version of Word.

Check this page http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100444731033.aspx Cheers You can just use the save as feature in Office 07 and save as .DOC or .XLS or better still download the converter so you can use the new formats.

I hope someone smacks Bill Gates up-side the head with a Linux laptop. This is another case of MicroCrap forcing something new on the public without any alternatives. I can't use the MS update for Office because I can't find my original disk (you need it to install the update). Linux & Open Source / GNU software is building up steam....It'll be too late once little Billy sees them in the rear-view mirror! That day will not come soon enough for me!
