That's crazy talk. Everyone knows that software pirates are lovable rogues, who are obviously good and decent and trustworthy because they're taking on and undermining evil corporate empires.
I downloaded the PC student edition of Office from microsoft, without problem. What you do, is buy the Swiss student edition, then you can download the English version, use the key of the Swiss student edition, and away you go. Of course, it might be different for mac users.
Funny thing. The Swiss edition has proofing tools for French, German, Italian
and English. While I'm a fan and user of OpenOffice, the proofing tools of MSOffice are far in advance.
