That is the Student version these days, but PC world isn't the cheapest place to buy it. You can get it for £60

There's always OpenOffice - totally free.

OpenOffice home page

i vote for openoffice or piratebay

on a slightly different note - licenses.

what is there to prevent someone installing the software on more than one computer? (if there is only 1 license)

home and student version has 3 licences with it, so you can legally install 3 times

You have to activate copies of Office, and if you try and activate it too often, Microsoft will reject the activation and won't give you a code, until you call them to explain, why.

Home version of Office does allow it to be installed on 3 PC legitimately though.
