RE: MS Office... Office, and plenty of other desktop software will nag you relentlessly until you "Activate your copy online". This is especially annoying for people like me, who spend months at a time off in the sticks where there may be occasional generator power but there certainly is no internet. Just a few weeks ago, I "activated" my copy of CodeSmith with 5 days to spare (out of 30). If I had had to make a special trip to a city just to do it (which from the pacific coast of Colombia would have required a flight), I would have been pretty upset with that company.
