Linux is free. Yes, there are a couple of pay versions, but all the rest id completely free for the downloading, which is legal.

So I payed 90$ for XP which doesn't even allow me to use Office for more then 30 days. When I could have gotten Linux for free? Wow I could have gotten more ram and like blown a little more on my CPU.

**** you Microsoft, **** you!

Office is totally separate from XP. You basically were given a trial of it.

All but RedHat and one or two more flavors of Linux are free. Always have been. Check a few of them out.

Open Office is free, and very comparable to Office 2003. It even open and saves in .DOC format so that people using MS Office can open without problems.

I also suggest building your own pc. You really do get more for the money.
