They've supposedly added this now to Office 2000; if you skip the
registration,
it launches 50 times, then quits working.

And of course, if you complete the online registration, it "phones home".

Now, what if you have neither a modem nor other network connection?
I wonder if it allows the "print out form and mail in" registration.
If so, that's one way to skin a fat cat... (not that I'm suggesting
piracy, just suggesting not going along with the flow).
