Be aware if you are buying PC from computer shop is that if they come with a software bundle that you are getting the disks,license etc. This was a common proble a few years back where PC vendors packaged their machines with the same software! Whilst certain packages can be easily sourced (pirate copies)(but not advised!) specialist software is usually best bought legit as the help desk/tech support is critical and most come with either some expiry date which requires validation to continue.

This is not what I would do. If everyone took this stance, competition would be completelystifled. There are many superb software packages out there, which aren't the established product. Should people dismiss these products then?If you are going to be depending on particular software for your business, you are much better off to bite the bullet, buy the established and reliable product that you know and trust, and build the cost of it into your pricing. Same goes when you buy hardware, or indeed any other asset.
