Having a "Home" version of Office makes it more affordable for the home user and hopefully will mean fewer people with Microsoft Works.

>I am not being entirely flippant. For me to upgrade from Office 2003 to Office 2007 would cost $300 or so. So far I haven't thought of reason to do that. 2003 still does all I need it to (and way more).

>Actually the last time I felt the urge to replace Word 2003 was after reading a review of a program called Scrivener. The feature I liked the sound of was that you can choose a clean screen as the typing surface. Sounds like an anachronism, a la some of the early DOS word processors, but I like the idea of writing on a screen with no clutter. I looked into Scrivener and found it is for the Mac only, natch.
