I bought my computer from Dell and it came with works. If I wanted word and the rest of the "MS Office" stuff I had to pay extra for it.

Wal-Mart is legendary for forcing its suppliers to redesign everything from their packaging to their computer systems. It is also legendary for quite straightforwardly telling them what it will pay for their goods.
Not that unusual. Many companies use their buying power as leverage for special deals. When we buy PC's they are specially packaged for us. They are imaged(pre-installed) with our own specific needs and software, and either they sell at the price we say or we go else where. It amazing the special treatment you get when your company has over 50,000 users to buy PC's for.

Buying direct from DELL you usually don't get package deals. Distributors such as Walmart buy packaged PC's and the choice of packages includes a software bundle. Most software bundles come with a Office Suite of either Perfect Office or MS Office.

I've posted quite a few times in the past about free long distance via the Internet with little to no response and now I see broadband telephone advertised on TV. Why pay for something you can get for free?

Sad part is I believe broadband will soon not only be the standard voice provider but video, and help kill free Internet as we know it. As it is, a PC(with the right software) with Internet connection gets you free gaming, movies, shopping and voice service. I just can't imagine the government passing up this potential revenue for much longer.
