I would like to aquire Microsoft Word but don't need all the other bundled
software it seems to come with.(office)
What is the most cost effective way to aquire it? I'm using XP Pro.
Thanks

Buy Microsoft Works 2006 Suite for $99.99. It includes six programs,
including a full copy of MS Word 2002. The package may include a
rebate but there are no guarantees.

Be very, very leery of Works Suite 2006 offerings for $39-$59 on eBay.
You may or may not get a certificate of authenticity (COA) and you may
not get a legitimate product key. When it comes to eBay software, the
key phrase is "buyer beware."
