I can think of a few very bad reasons. Reasons such as "We were too stupid
to think of that", or "We were too lazy to code it that way."

But I am sure it couldn't be those, right? :-)

I have a super novel idea!

Why not install Office full version as a Test drive unit. Then if one
wants to buy it. Just sell them an unlock code. That way when entered
and return hit - Whamo! its the full version of Office without the word
Test Drive associated with it. :-/

New Macs generally ship with the Microsoft Office Test Drive pre-installed.
What most users don't know (and they really can't be blamed, Microsoft makes
it far from obvious) is that the Test Drive has to be removed before the
full version can be installed in order to prevent future problems from
happening. You will need to remove the Test Drive, and to do that properly,
you will have to use the Remove Office tool in Applications/Microsoft Office
2004/Additional Tools/Remove Office. When you run that program, you will be
given the option to remove the Test Drive only, and that's what you should
do. This method should leave your full install of Office intact; if the
problems persist, remove Office entirely (again, using the Remove Office
tool) and perform a re-install.
