Microsoft Office

Is it a bad idea to share my office software with some family members? They are asking me if I know where they can get the office software at an affordable price. I was thinking I can give them Office XP by using my software. Is this a bad idea? Just trying to help them out.

Microsoft will permit you to install Office on One desktop and One Laptop computer if both are owned by you.

I would suggest looking into Open Office for your family members. It'll do pretty much everything MS Office does.

If one of your family members is a student at a university, they can get Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate Edition for $60:
