Maybe you could make activating your products even more frustrati.

[I wish this was a Mac!]

The 25 digit code that shipped with my product doesn't work in the activation
screen. All I want to do is type in an active page in word. Is there a reason
my product is locked? Is there a reason registering and activating aren't the
same? Is there a reason you're sucking time out of my life? There is no
reason Office shouldn't just work for the first 60 days, then you can torture
people with registering when that period of time is over. But first you have
to get them in the door. Seriously idiotic process.

So buy a mac already. Why keep blaming others for your problem? Just go
buy a Mac, and get Office 2004 and then type in the Product Key for that
version. Same problem? Try reading the PID correctly. (Hint - 8s look
like Bs sometimes and vice versa)

Sorry, but your problem is platform independent.
