Star Microsoft Axes Works, Introduces Office 2010 Starter with Ads
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 8th Oct 2009 22:04 UTC
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.

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

I don't think that's legal either. I am not sure though.

BTW, I wonder, why are they not calling it Office Live? ;)
