No, Peter, it's not spy ware. It's in the documentation and in the initial
startup of any of the office products. It shows a panel saying it is an
unlimited "trial" version.

"He bought a Compaq/HP computer 6 months ago and it came with Windows XP 
Home
and MS Office (Word, Excel, Power Point, Access, etc.) and he had been 
using
them up until a few weeks ago when he started getting a box/boxes popping 
up
telling him he needed to register and giving him a price...

Any of you aware of anything like this ?"

Maybe there is some spyware involved?  Spybot-time???
