So, let Microsoft know about this retailer who is in serious need of 
education, consult your local laws about that sort of misrepresentation (in 
this case, they are knowledgeably misrepresenting the product and that's 
really ugly) and take your money elsewhere. As a buyer, you have that 
choice at the very least.

I didn't think about reporting to Microsoft. I did, however, report to the 
Better Business Bureau who sent me a fax and an email that the problem 
would be corrected via conversation with the BBB, the store's wholesaler, 
the manager, and a person at Microsoft to explain Office 97 wasn't being 
supported. I decided if they did all that, the best I could do is just stay 
out of it.

I don't buy software there. I do buy paper, 3-ring binders, pens, pencils 
there. They are the most economical in town for those. I think the manager 
was "new" (not an excuse) and wanted to stand out in sales.
