....or you buy a new "Smart TV". My 12 yr old 32" super heavy CRT type TV finally died and so now I'm going to replace it with a LED TV and probably a smart TV although new blue-ray players also seem to do most of that too.

FYI: Office 2003 works fine under Win8 despite the fact that the Compatibilty wizard says to check the Office web site. I think the only program that has a problem is Projects 2003.

It sounds like they just want you to buy a new version of office.

FYI: You're entitled to apply for 5 Media Center licenses per person, although they have to be different emails, so might as well get a bunch in case you need them later.
