(0)For those of you with your heads stuck in the Micro$oft sandbox, pull yourself together and join the party over at the OpenOffice.org loft. - Free admission. 
Ars Technica posted that Microsoft isn’t going to offer “upgrade” pricing for it’s Office 2010 suite of “office” apps.
Microsoft is quoted as doing this to “simplify” the Office lineup. Now each Office SKU will have two separate prices: the first is the “Full Packaged Product” aka FPP, the second is the “Product Key Card” aka PKC.
The FPP will come with the install media and two licenses for the product, where as the PKC will only give you one license and no media – you need to download a trial or borrow someone’s media to install it.
Now, I didn’t read anything about the Microsoft pricing for Office 2010 when it was announced (I was on a RSS holiday)… but I’m NOT shocked to learn that M$ is going to offer an AD-SUPPORTED “Office 2010 Starter” version. Yes I said AD-SUPPORTED!
This super scaled down version of Word and Excel will replace the long-in-the-tooth M$ Works application that is often pre-installed on OEM machines.
How about this for you Winblows users… dump M$ Office and get OpenOffice. It’s FREE, as in beer; and not riddled with ADs like the Sunday paper.
The other day I brought up the topic of OpenOffice to my colleague, and he pooh-poohed the whole concept of OO. He kept saying, okay insert such and such, or set such and such. I was there with every move. I don’t understand why we still force the majority of our faculty to use M$ Office 2000, when OpenOffice.org is a free alternative that continues to be updated.
It’s time to take back the Monopoly Bank from M$ and get more people to use the free OpenOffice alternative.

Twitter links to specific profiles will always be a true link, not a shortened URL.
7nk.us links are more prevalent.
