The fine print story

















I bought a new computer recently. It had Windows 7 and some software loaded on it. I realized this week that the copy of Microsoft Office is a 60-day trial copy. Bummer.

What a way to get another $300 out of you. Another computer costing $100-$200 more might have been a better deal if it had a permanent working copy of Office instead of the trial.

Plus ... how many times have you bought Office for previous computers? What is their real objection to you using the same copy on your next computer if you take it off the old one before selling or otherwise disposing of it.

Thanks for letting me vent ...
