"Why can't we consumers buy 5 year old version of MSFT Office for $10? " Why buy Office at all when you can download OpenOffice for free?

"Why can't we consumers buy 5 year old version of MSFT Office for $10? I don't need any of the features added to Word or Excel in the last 5 years...." Because, the MARKET says it's worth MORE: search.ebay.com Which is nuts, because you can get OpenOffice for ZERO: openoffice.org Which can save as MS Office files if you like.
