I an, or at least the person I'm representing is.
She's a teacher and I have to figure out how to do the
proof-of-whatever thing with Newegg.
Thanks.
FWIW; she called me becuase she had an older version of Office on her
home w2k machine that was broken. It was saying "please insert CD".
When I looked at it, it was saying "please insert Office XP CD..."
and when I chatted her up about who had done what on the machine it
seems her (adult) daughter had borrowed an Office XP CD and tried to
install it and give up. Now the old Office is hosed. Of course *that*
was borrowed software in the first place. Not a CD in sight.
I'm trying to get these people to understand that we can't steal
software and I'm trying to get here to use OpenOffice but she's part
of an organization that's standardized on MS Office.
Uninstalling a broken Office is going to be a PITA when she buys her
own copy.

You're welcome!
Good luck with fixing that mess--your best bet may be to start the office
install and see if it gives you the option of repairing the damaged
installation before trying to remove it.

if it is the educational version then it can be installed many times. IAl said:Is it legal to reinstall Office 2003 Student & teacher edition on a

That sounds like a volume license. I'm looking at Office 2003 S&T
Retail for $135 at NewEgg.

Correct, but read the EULA for the S&T version when you get it. It will
allow you to install on more than one pc (I think the limit is 3 now, but I
don't have the EULA handy).

Thanks. That's a better deal than I was expecting. I'll read the
EULA, for a change.

your laptop.

That is the standard version. The OEM version can only be installed on one
pc (no laptop extension to the license). The Student version has a different
EULA allowing more pcs.

Today Larry Samuels commented courteously on the subject at hand
I've always wondered, how do it know? Is it like Thermos
bottles? People used to ask how they knew also (don't remember
that one? "how does it know to keep hot liquids hot and cold
liquids cold"?).
M$ is money /far/ ahead even if everyone claimed to be a student
or teach and installed Ofc on 3 computers than it is with people
"buying" open office for free, arent they?

Trust from Microsoft and integrity of the installer.
Also the licensing is a liberal since IIRC, having a student or teacher in
the family is sufficient.
Read the EULA for details.

me all to hell! One does not "buy" software, one "licenses" it.
The EULA is quite specific but has enough loopholes to drive the
NEA through, intentionally I would expect. There's another good
package good for only one install that includes the new version
of Encarta.
I'll fall back on an opinion I expressed a week or so back: if
Redmond would only figure out that they would make /billions/
more by making it easy for people to buy rather than bootleg -
or lie about their occupation here - they could put all the
software wonks to work doing some real innovation instead of
wasting everybody's time trying to twart bootleggers.
I just learned that my Microcrap stock nose-dived about 20%
yesterday on the news that the Gods of Redmond el fooked up and
are not admitting they won't meet their 2006 profit targets. I
doubt that Bill would volunteer something like that, so thank
God for the SEC. So, besides not liking the quality of the
software, never ending security patches that don't and
rediculous lack of true innovation, I also don't like those
idiots because it is costing /me/ money on both ends.

Shows how much yu know. MS is a publicly traded company. I has to make it's
financials available to shareholders. The SEC has nothing to do with it.
Gates himself has nothing to do with it. If Gates wanted to keep MS
financials secret, he would have to buy all the shares back.

No shit? As it happens, I own some stock. Because M$ /is/ a
publicly owned company is precisely why Bill had to reveal his
lower profit projection. Some silly-ass rules by something
