Microsoft to me: We’re turning off your Office
ZDNet: by David Coursey, Executive Editor,Microsoft to me: We’re turning off your Office.
A funny thing happened on the way to PC Expo: Microsoft killed my copy of Office. Or at least that’s what the error message said, threatening me with something called “Reduced Functionality Mode” if I didn’t immediately insert my original Office disc and have my software reactivated.
“If you don’t perform the reactivation steps, Microsoft Office will go into Reduced Functionality Mode. In that mode you will not be able to save modifications to documents, or create a new document, and additional functionality may be reduced” said the “help” screen attached to the error message. (The error itself could not be copied and pasted so I didn’t save the exact language; I must say I was a little stunned).
