After June 30, 2007, OEM Microsoft Office 2003 will no longer be available from Microsoft.

Some authorized OEM Microsoft distributors may have some remaining inventory left for a short time after June 30th; however, Microsoft will no longer be shipping OEM Microsoft Office to them.

Hallelujah means Glory to God in Christianity. Just a sort of wisecrack in this context.

I had a free trial copy of MS Office 2007, could not use it a day, replaced with my fav Office 2003.

I do not like to use the mouse when I use MS Excel, it reduces the speed with which one works.

Just in case this was aimed at me, I know what it means and what context I've used it in...

It takes some time to learn the new features,settings,working etc of Office 2k7;)..but its seriously way better than the earlier versions:)

@i_am_crack
The Minimum RAM requirement is 256MB and i have tested it on a machine with this requirement..It just runs fine with a medium pace except for LIVE PREVIEW feature which is a bit slow;)

goobimama? Did I say something offensive? It seemed to me that you was a sarcastic way of saying that you were thankful. Anyways, I was explaining to the other guy what alleluya meant. I work in a church, you know. Hear a lot of this.

FWIW, even gobi is not aaloo. :p

And I, being his "feathered friend", am all too accustomed to him using strange words out of context. :lol:

BTW, the tangentially off-topic nature of this discussion gives me some idea about how insignificant the demise of Office 2003 is. After all, Office 2007 is much better. :)
