From: Pete on 23 Apr 2008 18:01 My new Dell XPS came with MS Office. Is this time limited? How can I tell? I ask now before I configure it all. -- ------------ "I have seen Vista, and the future is Linux."

From: Ben Myers on 23 Apr 2008 19:00 Check the invoice for your system. If you paid for it, you have the real thing on your system. If you did not, you have the 90-day trial version that sucks and stops working unless, ka-ching, you pay billg. Rather than paying before the trial version expires, you are 1000% better off buying a copy in the store so you have the media to reinstall in case your hard drive ever goes south...

I don't know if it has taken effect yet but it sounded like it will be soon. I have no idea the cost so I won't say it is recommended but only mention it here for information.
From: Charles Summers on 24 Apr 2008 11:11 Something that I was wanting to try... even though I have MS Office, is Open Office. Anyone have and use this? www.openoffice.org <I think that's the right url.
