This has come about because I have bought a new laptop and there is very little with it by way of software - just some trial stuff and then after so many days you have to buy it.

Now if I buy a new hifi I don't have to buy new CDs to play on it. If I buy a new TV I don't have to buy new DVDs to watch on it. But I buy a new PC and I have to buy all new software. I can't use the software I already possess and have used on the old PC.

With CDs I can play them upstairs, downstairs, in the car, even if I'm out for a walk but I must not use the Microsoft Office on more than one PC.

I'm also miffed that the flippin thing has AOL PRE-INSTALLED.
