As far as I understand it, you can get older version of Word Perfect Suite from Corel. I don't believe that Word or Microsoft Office comes with anything unless it's being bundled by someone. But frankly, I would think this against the settlement agreement with the Feds.
Further, you can use your old version of Word Perfect with Win 2000 or XP.
It would come with Microsoft Works Suite 2003, which I assume would be most of the regular MS Works. Since I don't intend to buy it, I figure this would be the best way to get the essential parts of the current program.
If I get the 2000, that wouldn't come with it and it would be necessary to buy one of the other versions, Professional or something. They do offer the WordPerfect with some systems. Right now I have WP 8, which I intend to continue using. WP 11 has recently come out and I've been seeing good things about it, so I may upgrade in the near future after I have the new computer.
The version that would come with the comptuer, I think, would be WP10 and the OEM versions aren't complete. So, I figure I'd rather get whatever Word I can get from them and do my own WordPerfect.
Thank you, victoriawinters, for your comments about the operating systems.
