Say you just formatted your computer, Now you have to create a word document for your cv or a presentation , maybe a database or a spreadsheet to meet that deadline?
But much to your horror , you realize that you do not have the Micro$oft Office installation cd (or the one you had, got scratched beyond the point of salvation)
Its 1 am in the night, what are you going to do? Call up your friends and ask them if they have the cd? They won't stay your friends anymore after a midnight wakeup call!
Pull your hair out in frustration and resign to your fate?
Go around sifting through 'warez' sites of dubious reputation looking for Micro$oft Office?
Wait!
