PPl always forget about the cost of MS Access. If I bought another PC I would need MS Office as any work I bring home has to be compatible with what I do at work. With MS Office commanding such a large share of the suite market I would not recommend any PC purchase without it. I have a colleage who bought a PC thinking it was so cheap and now he finds he needs word at around $100 retail and Excell and over $100 retail. Office costs around $400 retail and you get powerpoint also. I use all three at work and also use Access. MS Office pro with Access is around $500-$600. All Dell computers (and Gateway and Micron) come with MS Office. All other software (unless you are a graphic designer - in which case by a G3 Mac) that is bundled with PCs is of much less worth compared to MS Office due to the sheer number of companies that use it. Whose company here has not standardized on MS Word?
