Word2003 should be available as a stand alone product!

[Granny's gripe]

Why should I have to pay $400 for Microsoft Office when I only want one of
the four programs bundled into that package. I will not use nor do I want
Excel, Power Point or Access. I only want Word and $400 is an exorbitant
cost for that one program when the only way I can obtain it is by purchasing
the Office package. Isn't that an unfair business practice? I'm sure others
must have similar views.

Could this package be unbundled so that just one of the programs could be
purchased for $150 or so if that is the only software that you want??

Actually, you CAN purchase Word 2003 by itself. See

It is available as a stand alone product.. a little research on your part
would not go amiss before making silly statements in a public place..
