<p>Hey blokes,</p>

<p>I just bought a new laptop and I don't know if I will need Microsoft office 2007 at UCSD. I use open office 3 and I don't want to buy a $80 software when I can use its clone for free. Please help me if I will need MIcrosoft word at UCSD and if I should buy MIcrosoft office 2007.</p>

<p>Cheers,

<p>you should be fine with open office. as long as you can open .doc files and save files as .doc (for classes that use turnitin - you might be able to use the open office extension but i’m not sure), i wouldn’t bother buying word.</p>

<p>Microsoft will be releasing a full free version of office to be used online. Until then just use Google’s. It works just as well as Microsoft’s.</p>

<p>^^^When; I am happy right now using open office.</p>

<p>Nope, you don’t need it. And if you ever do, the campus computers have it.</p>

<p>(But really, it’s way better than Open Office.)</p>
