Oh funny. But in light of what somebody said about Office, why do you recommend 32 bit office on a 64 bit platform? I don’t get that. And before today, I had never heard of it before. I’m in the market for Office 2013, so which to get and why? I’d rather go for the 64 bit version, but if that’s going to cause headaches for me later, then oh well.

I don’t trust anything with the name “Google” in it. All data miners who need to be put down. I watch and upload to YouTube because YouTube is owned by google, but it’s not Google.

On the odd occasion I do need to access a document of some kind, I put it in my Google drive and open it in Google docs. It even gives me a nice way to save as PDF if I need to. My work machines usually have office as part of the SOE so use whatever is installed. So my personal usage of Office is pretty much zero. I use Office all the time at Codify. Every plan, doc, report, etc is heavily invested in office. I can't imagine putting together a 100 page report full of cross-references and stuff in anything other than Word. Google Docs is still a bit shit for things like vector graphics (PDFs end up with bitmaps in them) and the presentations they generate are horrible last time I checked. Google Spreadsheets is very, very solid though. I am constantly amazed by it.
