Thinking about buying PowerPoint or Office pre-installed on a new computer?

Think carefully before you do this

If you can, purchase Office or PowerPoint separately. Try not to get it pre-installed on your new computer.

Pre-installed or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) copies of Office can be problems for several reasons:

That OEM copy of Office may seem like a great buy, but it could be more trouble than it's worth. The extra cost of a full version of Office, complete with CD, can be be a very good investment in the long run.

If you already have a copy of Office that came with your PC, check with the vendor to see if you can get CDs from them or from Microsoft.
