    I just reformated my M1330 computer, does it come with Office 2007 installed?? With CD?? I thought that was what I initially had on the computer, with OneNote... but I'm wondering if it comes with a CD for that stuff in the box.... I've kept everything so hmm.. I think it probably should, because I Just realized i have 2 CDS for roxio creator + myDVD 9.0 CDS>>..

    Did you remove the recovery partition? You should be able to get it back by using the recovery partition.

    If you ordered the system with Office 2007 preinstalled, then Dell should have included it on CD/DVD. Are you sure that your system didn't just have a Office Trial "test drive" on it? If that was the case, you wouldn't get any physical media.

    Thanks guys - I'm pretty sure it was full version,... but I'll have to chekc the receipt. I reformated my entire computer including the recovery partition. I had a real nasty virus that made it look like 10's of GB's disappear but really made it so that the OS couldnt recognize the files anymore.

    My brother just happened to have Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, so I have that installed now :D. I have a feeling that I mightve accidently got the software preinstalled, because my computer came with Microsoft Works >_<

    Through my University, we get Office 2007 Enterprise FREE.

    Gotta love Engineering School. We also can get Vista Ultimate for $8. :)
