This marketing plan will be greeted with much indifference.
Giving away Vista? (yawn) People are buying new pc's WITH Vista because they have to, wiping them, and installing illegal copies of XP.
Free MSOffice '07!! (huhh??) people who care can do fine with MS Works which came with the computer, will be smart and get used to OpenOffice/StarOffice, or they can afford some version priced for education/home.
Free MS Money? Yay!(sarcasm). I'm going to do all my personal finances on a computer which is running MS spyware and uploading bits and pieces of god-knows-what to Redmond/India.
Encarta? What's that?, let me go to Google/Wikipedia to learn what this Encarta is.

I understand hating about the costs of stuff, but stop dissing on the products already.
People are buying Vista PC's and installing illegal copies of XP? Maybe on your side. It is possible you know to install XP legally for now, and Vista ain't half bad.
I also don't know where people get MS works, but mine came with Office 03'. I'm quite happy with it's many functions, tons of freebies on the Office site, and how I'm a step ahead of all my other coworkers who don't have Office.
And I'm also guessing you've never used Money. Well newsflash, Money isn't spyware, nor does it take your private info. anywhere. It just helps you manage your income and your money and whatnot. I don't use it, but my friend likes it more than Quicken to say the least.
And I use a combination of places to find info. Wikipedia is awesome and free for a lot of it's content. Though accuracy is a bit low on some articles. At least Encarta comes with several multi-language tools, accurate articles, multimedia, graphing calc, and a bunch of other educational tools not available elsewhere. I got mine for about $40 at Sam's Club.
I think Microsoft may overprice some of it's stuff, but it's not by any far indecent.
