Hello,

Sorry if this is a bit of a dumb question but here goes. I would like to purchase a new Novatech laptop and with it the office 2007 suite, but all the OEM packages say licence only no CD so how do you get the software?

Thanks

Not sure that is correct at the moment, was at Novatech today (17th Feb) and they are still selling licence only OEM version - so my qustion still stands how does one obtain the software????
I want to buy a laptop with Office 2007 so how do you do this????

Thanks

Thanks, I think I know what OEM means...

Is it Novatech are not Microsoft system builders and this is why they can't pre-install office 2007??

I'm not buying the retail product at those prices. As I want to buy a laptop and the Office suit at the same time I thought it could be the OEM product?

Anyone form Novatech care to comment???

Thanks

Thanks for the information amy - it would have been nice for the web page to say 'it comes with media/CD' though?

Thanks
