Microsft Office

Hi,

I purchased a new laptop yesterday Compaq V5030 and it does not seem to have Word, Excel etc on it. Is this standard? If it is, does anyone know where I can buy it from that does not cost £300+?? This seems like a lot for those packages!

Thanks in advance.

    Office doesn't come as standard...

    Most of the time you might get works and some other crap but that's it...

    For office you have a free alternative available here

    I have heard that you can buy a student and teacher version of Microsoft Office for about £100, does anyone have any experience of this? Is it the same as the normal package?
