Got the new Microsoft Office 2007

This is really awesome! Guess what. I'm writing this blog post from Microsoft Office 2007 and straight to Blogger!

Olrayts!

My officemate Pew, who just recently bought Phoemela (his new Compaq notebook), went to Pantip (an IT mall in Bangkok) to buy some stuff for her. He bought a pirated copy of the new Microsoft Office 2007 for 120 baht. The interface is such an eye candy with its blue aqua motif. It has improved well in its graphical layout and presentation of widgets. It has new exciting features that I am yet to discover. One great feature that bloggers will surely die for is its integration with your favorite blog service provider. Yes! It's what I am doing now. I shall repeat (with echoes and woofers): I AM COMPOSING THIS POST INSIDE MS OFFICE 2007. The nifty tools that this new Office suite offers are such a marvel. It is a totally new experience!

I have to admit I am also a fan of Open Source software, but this new product that Micro$oft has just recently released is remarkable. I don't have plans to buy the original one. Buying original copies is not too "IN" as for the time being. Not to mention that I don't have the money to get one, I think it would be impractical for an ordinary user like me to get a licensed copy when after a few months a newer and better version gets released. Yeah… the usual silly reasons.
