Microsoft Are you familiar with Microsoft Works? It's sort of a My First Office Suite kind of thing which includes support for Microsoft Word and Excel documents. It is usually not sold separately, but instead comes pre-installed on new OEM machines. Well, Microsoft has announced today that it will kill Microsoft Works, and replace it with Microsoft Office 2010 Starter - an ad-supported version of Office 2010.

Someone will probably find a way to get rid of the adverts sooner or later.

Probably, but why bother? If you want to use "illegal" software, why not just go for the full version?

Why go illegal? Just run a patch like the ones that modifies Messenger.
