Thread: Uninstalled Microsoft Office...

I use MS Office 2007 & 2010 and have never had them asking for money.

Have been using open office for years

My HP isn't very old, maybe 6 months, but the fukers just put a short term license on then want more money... Obviously, they stop you from using the installed s/w, so I've just deleted it. I already had to pay for the bloody o/s that also stopped working after about 3 months... I will not, I repeat, will not, be buying any Microsoft s/w or products with Microsoft s/w every again...

I don't like Libra as much, but I'll get used to it I suppose.

I just wanna buy a laptop and for the applications to work for the life of that machine...

You can buy what you want at the I.T. center herein Pattaya for 100 baht a pop.

^yeah, same at Panthip Plaza, but I'd rather go the legit route than Microsoft send me a nasty virus...

Curse that Bill Gates and his minions.

All will come back to them in time.

^it's their pricing policy, RS. The license should be with the manufacturer on the machine I buy, should not come down to me... If I paid an extra 20 quid for the laptop for lifetime OS and office I'd be happy. They're just too fukin greedy...

Just dump all the trial software that comes pre-installed and put your own stuff on there. There are good deals on office for students if you have one lying around or for corporate employee licences if you work for a big company (around £10).

^I did that with the OS, but these licenses are annual, I don't wanna pay online, so it's a pain in the arse, and takes ages, deleting it then buying one more then installing that, every year...

Yes. All that...but most certainly it's about universal control. As they're associated and with most everything.
I believe there is a growing movement to have nothing to do with Microsoft/Windows......there is a wealth of alternatives today.

Bastards. Fuk 'em.

I've been using an illegit copy of Office 2000 on many OS' for years, never had a problem. There is a fix to make it legal too, get updates and all. Office.org, Abbyword both work fine.

^good stuff, thanks.

I have a rather nice, cracked copy of 2010 that works a treat.

wot he said .

had my old Aspire cleaned up and reloaded with illegit W7 and Office 2007 for the princely sum of about 900bt....no probs with office but can't get rid of the "this copy of windows is not genuine" message that turned up after 30 days".
No qualms about using it as original SW before the blue screen of death turned up was bought and paid for ( I lost all the discs when a step kid borrowed my bag). Could find a key to register W7 I suppose but too frickin lazy.

Thx mate will try it..or maybe just ignore it..don't seem to affect anything except desk top pic background times out to blank. Cheers.

There isn't a key hat will work. You need to fool the OS into thinking it's a pre-installed version using a prog whose name I have forgotten and remove the activation nagging with RemoveWAT

[OUTDATED / UNSUPPORTED] RemoveWAT.

Office has been my choice since forever, never had any begging.

ouch went to that blog...too scary WAAY above my pay scale...

This is what you want;

Windows Loader - Current release information

Open Office

LibreOffice works fine, except when you need to share documents which have been heavily formatted in Word, which can be a real fucking pain in the arse (not sure if that's just docx or doc as well). Also comments work a little better in Word than in LibreOffice and none (as far as I can tell) of the shortcuts work when you're typing in a non-Roman alphabet, which is another ballache.
