Oh. Really?

I can't say about other sites, but here in the UK, every employee has 
Word, Excel, Access, Power Point and Outlook installed by default. We 
have volume licenses for all of them.

Which is just as well, since several vital items of operational data 
*are* Access databases. (All things developed in the UK, not by the 
central IT department. I'm sure they would have used Excel instead...)
