The computer probably came with only a trial version of Office installed and
you'll need to purchase a full version - or a license for the version you
have - before the trial period expires. Vista does not come with Office and
no version of Windows has ever come with Office, though many computer
manufacturers have "bundled" either free or trial copies of Office or Works
with their computers.
