Was Power Point ever bundeld with Microsoft Works or Word or any other
Microsoft Application?

Or was it always a seperate application?

The reason for the question is that a friend insists that the Power Point
(not just the reader) application was included with his other software.

But, he can't find it!

I told him "in very simple words" that he will have to spend money to get
Power Point.

Am I right?

Or (please NO!) is he?

If he has Works and Word, I suppose he got an OEM version with his computer.
AFAIK there is no bundle with Works AND PowerPoint. Those basic preinstalled
versions very often do not contain PowerPoint. To make sure: Have him find
his installation CDs and check those.

What I have seen bundled with Works on OEM machines (frequently) is the PPT
Viewer. To make it more confusing, many of the bigger OEMs don't make if
very clear that you are getting the Viewer, not the full product, so people
get confused.

I would count that as him being confused, and you both being right - He did
see PPT on his computer, but not the full product. To get the full product,
he will need to buy Office.
