Tired of the "Office Tax"
Our office only purchases the "Basic" version of Office, because it's all we need. For $150 per desktop there's no reason for twice the price for other parts we'll never use. We've been pushed time and time again to do the Software Assurance thing, but still it comes out more when compared to the $150 per desktop even when I replace desktops on a regular basis.

I'd almost give anything to be able to use Open Office, but some of our required industry tools must have Office for certain macros and other compatibility.
