Are you sure you are not allowing your Windows predudices to extend to its
users. It seems to me that they probably do understand
Given the frequency of questions on the MS Windows news groups in the format
of "I just bought a new PC with Windows XP/installed XP on my old PC -
where is Word, Excel and Outlook" - I think there are large numbers of
Windows users who do NOT understand that Office is not part of Windows...
A friend of mine is one of those. She had "obtained" MS Office from a
friend, but she had a licenced copy of XP, because she'd upgraded her
computer from W98. When she had a hard drive failure, I re-installed XP
for her. She then asked where MS Office was. I explained to her that
she didn't have it to install, but if she wanted to buy MS Office, I
could install it for her. She is now running OpenOffice and Seamonkey
for her office and email needs.
She's now thinking about getting a new computer and I'm strongly
advising her to go Linux or Mac.
