If i download Microsoft office 2007 of limewire, is this illegal, if it is I simply won't download it ? If it is legal I will.

Anyone know how much Microsoft office 2007 is to buy ( UK ) if it is illegal to download it. I currently have Microsoft Office 2003 and want to update to the latest version. thanks

If your down loading it from lime wire it is a pirated copy (Not Legal!). Use open office it is free get it here, it is the same as MS office.

Yes. And the word is pirated software.
Don't bother upgrading your software anyway. Why. There is no cost advantage to upgrade software of this type without demonstrating a cost benefit.
I still use Office 97 with no problem. How many versions do you need to output the same letter or printed page.
I still use Windows 3.1 and a primitive word processor there is little or no difference. Oh yes you can add a picture or draw a line different. Not a big deal. Is that worth two or three hundred dollars?
Worse if you get caught and you are using this for business purposes. The fines and jail terms are significant.
And you cannot update that software with Microsoft or any software with Microsoft. If you have to update your registered operating system they scan your computer before they download updates or fixes. If they find that software instead of the 2003, you're dead meat.
If you have a registered copy of Office 2003 you could apply and get a registered copy from Microsoft downloading directly from them and then you can download any updates.
Good luck anyway.

Well... It depends... if you download the full version of Microsoft Office 2007 via Limewire, then that is illegal. But if you download the trial version of Microsoft Office 2007 via Limewire or any other downloading clients that is ok. I do not know the price of Microsoft Office though... I am using Microsoft Office 2003 for my Mac right now. Thanks!

Yes, it is illegal. Go to Microsoft UK for pricing.
Stick with Office 2003.

Yes it is illegal since it is a copyrighted software and you need to buy the license.
