I've slowly managed to convert everyone in my family to OpenOffice after my dad converted me to it :D. It's far more useful than MS Office, as it can read any formats. Often these days we get .docx files, which Word 2003 can't open, but Writer can, for free ^_^... |

Actually, you can just knock the x off the .docx file format and it works. |

I'm quite happy with MS Office 2007. Despite how much I loved OOo when I used it, it still felt incompatible in a few ways. When I had to make a graphical PowerPoint presentation for college once, I did it in OOo Impress and a few things didn't work when presented in PowerPoint at the college. I kind of like the new tab format of MS's new software layout, as seen in Paint in W7. Works nicely in Word, even if you do have to get used to it, just like with anything new. Some programs have barely changed at all though. Maybe they found that the tabbed layout didn't work for some programs, like Outlook and Publisher. |

Nope, I don't like OO, compared with Office 2010, anyway. |

How much does MS Office 2010 differ from 2007? I've got MS Office Ultimate 2007 and thought that was very Windows 7-esque. |

My college uses some really rubbish version on MS Office. I'm not sure which one it is, but all the icons are massive and it has an 'Office Button' that CONTINUALLY flashes orange, because it's retarded enough to think you wont be able to find it in the top-left f***ing corner! And don't get me started on Powerpoint... |

That'll be Office 2007 with the big Office button. Office 2010 has a smaller one, with a darker background, and is more square in shape to fit in better with the layout of the ribbon at the top. The icons aren't big (except for the style previews). They just try to fit as many controls as possible into the ribbon, so the ribbon has to be fat, not like the classic toolbar. |

Well across all my computers and hard drives I have...1500 in HDD space, and probably a few more gig of flash and SSD memory... |

What I dont understand is how could you possibly need all that space? I have 250 GB of stuff on my 1TB external just because I dont like to use my internal HDD for music, pictures and videos. |

When people ask why you need all that space, they always come back with the argument "how long ago was it since you used all that then? You don't need it. You could get rid of it" I'm not using all of my space, but it's there for if I do. The reason I have so many hard drives is simply because the small ones aren't big enough, but are in perfectly good working order, so I keep them. I'm currently using: 227.7 GB of space on my 640 GB drive 153.8 GB of space on my 160 GB drive 579.6 GB of space on my 750 GB drive 70.0 GB of space on my 120 GB drive I'm using a total of 1031.1 GB according to Calculator. The 640 GB drive contains all installed programs in Windows, and Windows itself, as well as my documents and my pictures. The 160 GB drive contains an old backup of my files from Windows Vista, and is going to be wiped and sold on now that I've copied all my files over to Windows 7. The 750 GB drive contains backups of install files and films that I've legally ripped from the DVDs in my house. That way, if I lose the discs, I can still install the programs or watch the contents of the DVDs. The 120 GB drive contains a disk image of Windows 7 immediately after installing all drivers and essential programs like Office and Steam. Sure, I'm not using the 160 GB drive which is why I'm getting rid of it, but I might have to use the 120 GB in the future if something goes wrong. Ditto for the 750 GB drive. The 640 GB drive is nowhere near full, but free space is constantly being used up just by using the computer. Also it's good to have free space available when you hope to do 3D modelling, and have Steam. :) |
