OpenOffice is free.

Microsoft don't keep old versions in stock so you have to buy more recent ones.
or try eBay - make sure you get the COA and that it isn't OEM
OEM can only ever be used with the hardware it was supplied with.

Which flavour of office do you want - SBE , Developer Edition ?

Had a link to places that sold old sw somewhere

if your a student you could get the student and teacher edition which i think is no more that €200, (correct me if im wrong)

The only thing is when your register your software you will need your student id number.

IIRC The Academic version expires when you finish full time education, but you can install it on three PC's in the house, but not for comercial use. But the radio ad a while back said you could use it for work..
