Lol...i have an ipod and use itunes, other than that apple dont concern me, happy with both of these though.

I absolutly refuse to pay for microsoft office when its atleast £100 (from memory) when i can get Open Office for nothing

Although i suppose £50 (on tesco offer) isnt to bad considering OS' used to cost more i believe?

Each and every installation needs a valid licence. Even Corporate versions (now protected via MAK keys rather than the open installation available to XP Pro Corporate).

This is pretty much standard licencing with software.

Anyone know of a deal better than the £50 Tesco are offering for a preorder then?

Also a good place to buy some RAM, i think my laptop may benefit from it as i only have 1Gb, i know there is an additional RAM slot.

Is that deal still valid (for Home Premium)? I thought phase 1 preorder ended a month or so ago :-/

I preordered a few copies for myself at the £50 rate (I like to be legalish)

For RAM, I tend to use Crucial.  And 7% cashback iirc via Cashbackkings (see my signature) :D

The license key had sod all to do with the PC's crashing.

The crashing was either down to crap hardware, a crap installation, or a combo of both.
