OpenOffice is very capable.
I think too many people pirate software when there's no need.

To me, OpenOffice = Microsoft Office 2000 in terms of what it can do. Maybe I'll look back at it again in a few years.

Yea true, it just feels... better using Office 2007 or 2010.

But does that justify not paying for MS Office?
Simply put, to all those who are thinking about pirating MS Office: if you're in a program that uses MS Office a lot, just buy the damn thing. If you don't need it, or only need it occasionally (like me), OpenOffice works fine.

In my opinion, at least give Open Office a try first. If you're not used to pirating software off torrents it'll be much easier.

I find MS Office 2007/2010's Ribbon interface just too much, but that's me. I wish O.O's Powerpoint Alternative was more robust.

Anything justifies not paying for any of Microsoft's products  .
I try to only pay for things that I want continued development on (i.e. games, some android apps. etc).
