WTF? MS/HP BS ...

[Finaddict]

So I purchased an HP Pavilion dv6810 us Entertainment Notebook PC on April 30. The system was around $725 or $780, I don't really remember, but had to go as cheap as I could.

That said, apparently I cannot use Microsoft Office anymore, as I cannot edit documents with my system. I contacted the HP chat line for assistance, and they said that I need to buy the Microsoft Office package ...?

Since when has that been the case? Every computer I have ever purchased has always had all the software I needed to do the basic chores and now I can't do them at all? I know I didn't spend a lot of money, but this is bull!

I passed my return deadline and would certainly get rid of this piece of dogfish #$%&*#@#$ if I could.

Any thoughts? This really is BS, and I am really pissed.
Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Go to open office and download their softweare.
It is free and does the same programs as MS

Common practice these days, shipping a PC with a time bombed version MS office to see if you like it.

Get openoffice
