Default Microsoft Office Basic 2003

I've got this on my laptop, and have just bought a computer. A friend told me I can't install the same disc onto my computer, because Microsoft will trace that I have this on two separate computers, when I update, and take it off both my computers. Is this true? ...

I've got this on my laptop, and have just bought a computer. A friend told me I can't install the same disc onto my computer, because Microsoft will trace that I have this on two separate computers, when I update, and take it off both my computers. Is this true? And do I have to buy another one for my new computer?

Download and install OpenOffice. Save yourself some money, for 99.99% of us it does all we want and more, and for some applications it is actually superior to MS Office. Also compatibility is good, you can open and save in .doc format. It is a gift at FREE!
