My wife works with O97
I work with O2000
I wanted to see what's new in OXP

No deep reasoning, just easier to be using the same version when one emails
a lot of files back and forth.

I've got OpenOffice too, but that doesn't yet even open all the DOC files I
come across, not to mention actually getting it right.
