It appears that my copy of Micro$hite's Office for Mac is cattle trucked Banghead ... well, at least the Excel part is and from a quick scour around it's not uncommon cry:
I'll have to buy the new '08 version redface: with a free upgrade to the '11 version when that appears ... noooo:

Microsoft Works and Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 (60-day trial version) Waste of space but will forever want you to update see also posts from Pirate and self about current problem with this
Recovery partition (including possibility to recover system, applications and drivers separately)
Optional re-allocation of recovery partition
Recovery CD/DVD creation tool
Symantec Norton Internet Security 2010 (60 days live update) Waste of space but will forever want you to update
Notebook Help & Support
HP MediaSmart Suite Utter shite, my current PC is HP with all this in and it keeps on trying to update stuff I never use
HP QuickWeb Ditto
HP Setup Ditto
HP Advisor Ditto
HP Support Assistant Ditto
HP ProtectSmart Ditto
Omnifone MusicStation
Cyberlink DVD Suite
Corel VideoStudio
Corel PaintShop Pro
Norton Online Backup (30-day trial) Waste of space but will forever want you to update
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Windows Live Messenger
Adobe Reader Adobe Flash Player Will require immediate upgrade that won't work
Why do they insist on loading it with crap on 60 day trial that will plague the user for ever more to "update" at a cost. I will not buy any laptop or PC that has that shite in it. I don't care who you are, you cannot prevent it from coming back to haunt you.
Personally the next change I make will be to a customized set-up where I get to decide the operating system and the bells and whistles from the get-go.

Deleting all the HP shite that constantly keeps telling you that it is there and wants to update (at least twice weekly) and then finds it cannot update so you phone HP who say go to Windows for a "Patch" or "Fix" cannot be done. According to HP most of their shite will not delete ~ I've asked them why it will not, they say it is integral to keep the PC operating ..... so I asked a local PC repair outfit to do it and they reported back that they could only do so by replacing operating system and the hard drive. It seems that a lot of HP users have this problem. It is, I am told, a deal with Microsoft to get round the US antitrust laws.

Which HP never do! Not even a back-up disk. In fact mine keeps suggesting I create a back-up and then refusing to recognise any disc inserted for the purpose.

I've had a look at OpenOffice and whilst it may be good I don't really need another suite of programmes. The one and only reason I have Office for Mac is to be able to open up clients documents and take the information from them.
Mac's iWorks claim is that, apart from being good stand alone programmes (Keynote is particularly good) they can also open up Office stuff and save stuff in an Office format too. I have a feeling that this is no longer functioning with Office '04 for some reason.
I'm going into their Regent St. store on Monday anyway so will ask the supposed Genius Bar rubschin:
