If your experience with Office sucks, just don't buy it. There is not justification for pirating. It's a free market, and Microsoft's monopoly is long gone. I haven't used Office in years and I've done just fine. The few time people send me `docx` documents, I can either open them up with Preview, Pages, or simply not open it. Most of the time, I don't care enough about the contents. When it's a resumé, sending anything other than a PDF or a website is an instant fail.
