Why Do We Have To Keep Buying Microsoft Office When We Buy New Computers?
24 Answers
When I bought my Sony laptop I paid extra for Microsoft Office 2010 which came with Excel, Word, Powerpoint (the ones I wanted), plus OneNote and Office Tools.
I now need to replace the laptop but am being forced to purchase a new Microsoft Office or take out a subscription to it - whatever that is! This sounds like another Microsoft rip-off - unless any of you know otherwise. If I've already purchased the licence to use it, why can't Microsoft honour that in my new purchase?

hc4361: From the link you kindly posted about Microsoft licencing it seems my purchase comes under the OEM label and I certainly didn't get any disks. I can't take Sony to task now as they are no longer in the computer market.
