John, Did you consider getting Office 2007 instead? Just thinking that it would introduce the ribbons and probably remain supported by Microsoft for a another operating system or two. I'm still using Office 2000 and until I go to Window's 7 or above I'll be ok. Just wondering the difference in cost?
