why Microsoft Word/Works isn't included when purchasing new comput
What is the difference between these two scenarios:
1. They include Microsoft Word/Works (to use your example) in the already installed software and increase the price of the computer by $150-200. Meaning, the cost of the software is hidden in the price of the computer. and 2. You pay $150-200 less for the computer and don't have the software installed and then have to buy it and install it ? At least with computers, you can buy what you want and install what you want. When you buy a car, if you want $75 mudflaps only, you have to buy the whole Performance package for $1500 that includes door side mouldings, mats, mudflaps and a 6 CD changer. You get my drift. The bottom line is, one way or another, they have you by the cohones. By the way, having used it successfully in older computers has no bearing on whether it is installed or whether you have to pay extra for it *now*. Windows 98 and Windows XP was 12 and 8 years ago, respectively. That's eons in computer time.
