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.
I was born and raised in Van Nuys, California. I moved to Boston sight-unseen and have loved living in New England since that day when I said, "this apartment is OLD". My hobbies are antiquing, reading books and magazines (bring back Blueprint and Domino please), sewing, quilting, sightseeing, watching movies, and photography. I love the color red and have a retro red refrigerator (and kitchen aid mixer and ice cream maker and toaster and...) to prove it! I live in a converted high school and love decorating my loft condo (w/ 18 foot ceilings) that was formerly the auditorium. I have 3 brothers, 11 nieces and nephews, and a bus fleet of friends.

Thanks for letting me vent ...
LAME.
