We have an annoying problem, people generally seems to think that Office is a component that is shipped with windows.
And regardless on what is available to other electronic store chains, online stores etc etc, none of our suppliers has any laptop or stationary box that is shipped with Office bundled (heck, they don't even bundle $20 works )
So we explicitly states on our price charts, flyer's etc etc that Office is a separate product.
Never the less, we still get the blank stares, the stammering "but when I bought my last computer it was bundled", the "how am I going to be able to use my computer without office?"
We always ask if they want an office license and (tries to) explain why they would need one, still seems as if they think that "why buy an extra copy, its bundled with windows"
Gahhhhhhh!!!
This is probably also an extension of the "No, we will not help you install your Compaq branded XP on your Dell Laptop"
On the other extreme end we did have one customer that demanded a computer with just office and no Windows
