If you want Microsoft Office installed on your new computer,
you'll have to pay for it. Microsoft Office has never been included,
at no charge, with any Windows operating system.

Do you really expect to get a $300+ software package on a $500 computer?

You can be sure that Office was not free on your older computer, you paid
for it.

Why not just get the computer for free, too?

Better, I'll go buy a copy of Office, and it will come wrapped in a new PC.
