and Excel only, with advertising. No PowerPoint or Outlook."

Check out this little beauty....

I don't wish to direct quote from the site ( for obvious reasons) but look for the section = 'Office Starter 2010 Marketing Restrictions and Best Practices' at the bottom....a real corker!

Check out the rest of the site to see what OEM's have to put up with.
