I use both Microsoft Office XP and Microsoft Office 2007. The newer version is more clumsy without any useful improvements to me. I am investigating Libre Office and am very happy with it for the moment. I have never had any security problems.

As a pensioner, and also very disabled,I cannot afford to buy any further products. The computer is my only lifeline and I shall miss it terribly.

but I suppose it doesn't bother you as long as you make money.

@Roland, an alternative strategy is to create a backup copy of your installation disk.

@Ed, we're discussing Office XP here. By chance is your comment in reference to Windows XP?

I know a number of people that are still on XP because Vista was not a good idea and we question Windows 7. Eliminating XP support was a bad idea.

Nothing on support.microsoft.com/.../retired is remotely "useful". Customers need a ink to an upgrade site mentioning the MS idea of the price on the first half of the first page as seen by IE6 (or whatever is the oldest still supported MS browser at the time of the announcement).

Will activation work perpetually (or 2020 or till when?) or will MS put a patch to not require activation before activation servers are closed for Office XP? If activation stops working without a patch, I will be the first to sue Microsoft for not allowing use of purchased product perpetually.
