I've a PC coming to the end of its trial on Office 07 (Word, Excel, PP and some mail thing) and I'm considering my options. I don't think I am prepared to go the Open Office route but neither am I prepared to fork out mega money to keep Gates and Co. out of the poor house.

I'm going to buy a printer all in one and I see from research that Amazon in the UK will allow you to buy this Office 07 for £49.99 if you buy something computer related over about £40 I think.

The problem with any of these is that non of these have Access, which I use intermittantly. I could of course go and get a copy but the last PC had issues with a copy and service pack updates.

I'm prepared to pay something but not too much and I think the rough equivalent of the UK thing but preferably with Access is near my top, or it is copy city once again.

Any ideas ?

Have you had a look at the last build of Open Office? 3.1 I see no reason to support Ms when there is a free alternative which works great. Even my sister is now using Open Office..

Largely because of the unknown factor I will admit but also because business, banking etc. is using M$ and if I can keep "in the family" for a decent price, then I want to. I would much prefer that to being forced to go OO because of price issues.
