I rely on Office at work and at home. But at home I have felt no need to update past Office 97, which does everything I need it to do. Therefore I won't spend many hundreds of dollars merely to get the latest and greatest. (I hate what was done to Office since 2007 so i will never get anything more recent than 2003. I don't care what kind of bells and whistles they offer. I don't need bells and whistles, I need a spreadsheet, a word processor and a small DB. Anything else is a waste of space and money.)
