Hi. We purchased 10 copies of Office 2003 Pro from AtomicPark.com.

One of the machines that we installed this on last week has died. We purchased a replacement and attempted to activate Office 2003, microsoft says we have to purchase another copy.

I spoke to the manager at MS, he was a total jerk. I reported this to the BBB and emailed AtomicPark.

This is pure Un-Ethical business practices if you ask me. Why doesn't Microsoft just go steal their money, thats basically what happened here...don't let this happen to you!
