No Longer Wanted: Microsoft Office
What's Hot
I'm ditching the bloatware that is the Office 365 subscription, and want to install just Word and Excel 2010/2013. So if you've decommissioned a PC and happen to have the original CD/DVD and product key cards, let me know your price.
ETA: PC/business version
Comments
So an original CD + legit product key is what I'm after.
It's the product key that you're paying for - that's effectively your access to be able to use the software. The DVD (or download) is just the delivery medium.
Failing that; just download an iso and burn a disk?
My download ambivalence (vs having a disk) is because online software always eventually disappears, leading at best to forced upgrades (=slower).
If you don't want Outlook, Access, Publisher etc. a Home license would probably suffice if you want proper MS.
I have Open Office on my XP PC at home. It's crap squared.
I have Office 97 on mt Windoze 2000 PC at home and it does everything I want it to.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
In the interests of maximising cross-platform compatibility, Apple Pages and Numbers can open/preview MS Office text documents and spreadsheets.
Microsoft does not extend the same courtesy in the opposite direction.
I had to transfer my Pages document into MS Office For Mac, save it in Word format then, resend it as an e-mail attachment.

Basically on a clean load go to Ninite, put a tick against the browser, office prog, Paint program, free anti virus and PDF reader etc, go have a cup of tea and when you come back it's all installed with no toolbars or adware etc .... fecking great site
Oddly enough there are situations where Open Office will open a file that's been corrupted and MS Office won't. That alone can be a useful tool even if you have MS Office installed ... it's made me look a hero a couple of times
