Wrong answer:
A: Yes, indeed. You get more than 4.5 Gigabytes of useful software for
a lot of purposes, from system administration and software
development to a personal workstation suitable either at home or at
the office.
With Microsoft Windows+Office you also can't:
View DivX with Microsoft Windows+Office
Program in professional languages with Microsoft Windows+Office
Make web pages that say opposing things of Microsoft and/or affiliates
Share the software with all your friends and colleagues without the
risk of going to jail as a dangerous pirate^Wterrorist
... .... ...
Several more reasons could be listed, but I haven't all day, really.
