Given that a lot of pirated software has malware or buggy hacks slipped in with it and the fact it's unlawful, I wouldn't be using it .

In case you need it to convince your boss, there's a page here with some information about how to tell what's genuine and how your boss could report it here if they want to help Microsoft take action against the person who sold this: . microsoft . com/nz/piracy/default . mspx" target="_blank">www . microsoft . com

No it's not - it's warez. Pirated software plain and simple, and should be avoided.

And it would contain lots of nasty things such as viruses etc

*Might* contain lots of nasty things. Still not a smart idea to use it though.

I would be careful being a newbie to forums and calling somebody a fool. That in itself can be *very* foolish.

Fair call - but the OP's first sentence kinda sets off alarm bells with "My boss paid a substainal sum for a MS office 2003 CD"

Where he got it from I wonder? if it came from trademe he has recourse - and I doubt several thousand ringgit is a substancial sum if you get my drift.
