I hate to disturb your blissful ignorance, but Gateway, for
one, has been shipping a separate Works Suite package with
some of its computers for at least three years that I know
of. Also, just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean
it doesn't exist. Lots of local, individually owned
computer stores will sell retail software packages along
with a new computer and will often install the software
prior to delivery. Often this will include even the
operating system.
