I think of Google Docs now because the inconvenience of not being able to have word on my own system without a price caused me to use the free alternative.

@solivine Same, and it just works better. Whenever I need a word processor or spreadsheet at home I don't need that much, and I need to be able to access it on all my devices, not just my home computer. So having the free alternative work faster, better, everywhere, then I don't even see Office as relevant anymore.
