Vista Business and Office

[Schmidt1989]

So I got Vista business, and i kinda assumed MS Office would be free with it. It still asks me for a serial code, and I cant find any on the box or anything. What can i do to have office for longer than 18 days? All I really need is Word, nothing else. Should I contact Microsoft or HP or something?

Thanks to Europeans Office no longer is bundled with any version of Windows.
Yes you need to buy a copy of Office and I think that there is an Office basic if you just need word.

Free alternative is OpenOffice which is actually based off of Office.
