>You can buy a Gateway PC with only Windows.< I don't think so. I've tried before, and I tried again just now. I'm talking desktop systems, not laptops or servers. You must accept either MS-Works or MS-Office SBE. Show me the link from gateway.com or dell.com Show me where i can buy a desktop system without MS-Works or MS-Office SBE. I find no such thing. Resistance is Futile....* *1 : serving no useful purpose : completely ineffective <efforts to convince him were futile>

Could it be that there is little demand for Corel Suite? You know, I forgot about this earlier when someone was screaming about only being able to get Office or Works when you buy a PC, but my brother-in-law last year bought a low-end Aptiva, an IBM machine, and it came with some Lotus Suite crap. Obviously IBM wasn't forced to bundle Works or Office with Windows.
