Not only is NeoOffice free it is a better product than MS Office 2008 for Mac and 2007 for Windows.
NO computers come with Office free, even Dell, you have to select to get that Productivity Package, which will always cost you $$. 
Boot Camp is just a partitioning tool. You need to supply your own copy of Windows in order to install it.
A new Macbook Pro will indeed come with boot camp. Just not the Windows operating system or what have you.
I returned my Powerbook because it didn't come with FCP installed for free, and they promptly fixed it.
So there.
Yes, it does. You have two options regarding Office: pay for it like everyone else, or don't get it. Learn how to use your new computer and stop asking for handouts.
I bought Office 08 for my buddy for $70+tax. I think it was the student/teacher edition that came with just a CD and 1 CD Key. No box or instructions either.
People have told you this numerous times, that it does, use spotlight a search for it. jeeees man
Probably doesnt know what spotlight is. Funny how the OP managed to afford the pretty good MBP but cant find a few more notes for the software...
alright my bad.
i looked it up.
anyways,, i read it from somewhere that leopard doesn't come with bootcamp anymore, it was ********.
i don't want window--->office,,, ... i want "mac" office.
Subsequently your MBP does not come with Office for Windows or Office for Mac. Your MBP does come with bootcamp but there is no proven correlation between Office for Windows or Office for Mac and Bootcamp. If by getting bootcamp you are to also receive office free then I hereby publicly state that I will buy you a new MBP WITH office 08 installed.
kthxbye.
All versions of Office is Windows, even the Mac ones
And if you want Office, you have to pay for it.
Then how about you pay for it like everyone else? You know how you traded this item called money to get your MBP? Guess what? It's the same way you get MS Office.

Huh? That's a nonsensical statement. You do realize that MS Office was available on Macs before it was on Windows, don't you? Hell, MS Word and MS Excel were on the Mac before Windows even existed.
