MS must use several different methods of pushing its Office. My Sony laptop
came with Win7 and a "Starter" version of Office. I have a stripped down
version of Word and Excel. Many advanced functions are missing and I have
banner ad reminders to buy the full version, but the software doesn't seem
to be "time bombed." I've had it for two years now and it still works.
All that said, I never use it unless I need full Office compatibility, which
of course is the issue that started this thread in the first place.

I have never purchased a copy of Windows either. I only get it when it

$50 per computer that the computer companies pay Microsoft for Windows. So
we both do pay for it with new computer.
And lets not forget the time bombed versions of Office that's included
with many new computers. People start using it, and then, after a
while, find they can't work with their own documents unless they pay for
Office.
