  • My wife's net book has a version of work, excel and powerpoint that were free, but not the latest version, but quite frankly it has more functionality than 99% of people actually need or care about. Have a look in your program list again.

    You may be suprised the amount of companies / employees who can get this. Good luck!

    I originally got Office 2003 Pro using the HUP process several years ago. (Still have the DVD). Unfortunately my employer (a multi-Billion dollar global corporation) dropped out of HUP a few years ago. :(

    But I now use Office 2007 Enterprise which I "found somewhere". ;)

    Starter Edition worked well for many people I know. Sadly no longer offered with new systems.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
