MS really know how to pis* you off.
I got the Office 2003 trial CD. Activation doesn't work as the internet
connection is through a proxy. No phone activation is available on the trial.
I finally got through to the phone activation people through a tech support
line (will we be invoiced?) and the women hangs up on me when I say it's the
trial version.
The website says that even without activation, I should be able to use it 50
times, but it is already in reduced functionality mode (no New or Save in
Word), so I can't really try it out.
It's horrible because we are trapped. I'd like to say bug off to MS, but we
are too dependant on them. Aaaagh!!
