Is Microsoft Office included when you reinstall Windows XP using the HP Backup and Recovery Manager?

Q. Hi, I'm having a lot of problems with an HP Compaq 6720s laptop and need to start over and reinstall Windows XP using the HP Backup and Recovery Manager via the recovery partition on the hard drive instead of using CDs. (There's an error when I try to burn the CDs.)

Will this only reinstall Windows, or will Microsoft Office be included and also be reinstalled at the same time? (Of course, assuming you have Office installed originally, which I do. I don't have the CD for Office, but I do have the product key. My version of Office is Office Professional Plus 2007.)

If Office isn't included when you reinstall, all I will really need is the Office software since I have the product key, but I don't know if it's possible to get that from HP, Microsoft, or some other source. It's been hard to find any helpful information from HP or Microsoft. I tried entering my product key and downloading Office from Microsoft's website, but it said that it was "not recognized as an eligible product for free download." I'm willing to pay a little for a replacement Office CD, but I don't even know who I should contact to order one. Calling Microsoft's Order Desk was not very helpful.

Does anyone know how this works? Any help would be GREAT! :)
I hope that you are right and that it will be reinstalled automatically, but according to an HP representative, my laptop has a "60 days trial application which is a one time installation software only and would not be reinstalled while performing System recovery."

If that is true and Microsoft Office is not reinstalled, is there anywhere online where I can still download any free trial version of Microsoft Office 2007? (other than the Microsoft website, which gave me that error) I would guess that it has to be 2007 and not 2010, right?

A. Most version of Windows I've seen come bundled with the trial version of Office, so you should only need the key.

If for some reason it is not, just go to the Microsoft download center (in my sources), and download the version of office you have.

Edit: Correct on it having to be 2007 and not 2010

I found a working download link at
http://www.fileratings.com/Review/Microsoft_Office_Professional_2007_Trial

However, since it isn't downloaded directly from the Microsoft site, I would suggest scanning it for viruses and running it in sandbox mode first, since I'm not a frequent enough user of fileratings.com to vouch for it.

What are environmental consulting jobs like?
Q. For someone graduating with a baccalaureate degree in Earth Sciences and Environmental Policy.

How much do these jobs pay starting out?
Are they very stressful when compared to government jobs?
What is the scope for increasing one's salary after starting out?
Please be sure the answer the questions. Don't just say something that relates to the topic unless it answers the question.

Most of the answers on here just say stupid things like "wtf" or just post ads. This doesn't help me, does it? So why are you wasting my time by posting things like this?

A. An environmental consultant works on commercial contracts to address a variety of environmental issues for their clients. They cover a wide range of disciplines such as assessment of air, land and water contamination, environmental impact assessment, environmental audit, waste management, development of environmental policy and development of environmental management systems.

The sector continues to expand in response to a mix of regulation, corporate risk and reputation management. Consultants operate in a very commercial environment and senior staff may be required to help attract future clients for the business.

According to the 2008 Environmental Data Services (ENDS) survey of environmental professionals, the majority continue to be employed in the consultancy sector.

A career as an environmental consultant offers the opportunity to work on a variety of different disciplines, with the potential to specialise.

As there is such a variety in the type of work that an environmental consultant may undertake on a day-to-day basis there is clearly a wide range of typical activities. A key task is to identify whether land, air or water is contaminated by means of desk-based research and field work, and then undertake an assessment to identify if that contaminant source can have an adverse impact on a receptor (such as humans or groundwater, for example).

Typical work activities include:

* Conducting field surveys: collecting data to establish a baseline condition for levels of pollution or contamination for a site or area of consideration.
* Data interpretation: this can include detailed assessment of data, often using software modelling packages, to identify whether 'contamination' exists in accordance with legislative drivers.
* Development of conceptual models: this involves identification and consideration of the potential contaminant sources, critical pathways and receptors that could potentially have an adverse impact on the immediate and wider environment.
* Report writing: completion of detailed scientific reporting, written in a manner that can be understood by non-technical people.
* Dialogue with clients, regulators and sub-contractors e.g. analytical laboratories.
* Due diligence: carrying out desk-based research to review previous investigations of a site that a client wants to purchase, and possibly undertaking field work, to identify previous activities on the site and any contamination.

what is better for learning to write code at home: Laptop or Desktop?
Q. going to buy a new computer and not sure what to buy...the laptop screen size would be 15.5" and the desktop route would be 24". The laptop is mobile, but takes up room on the desk and I end up having a textbook on the side of a laptop. with a desktop it isn't mobile, but I could have the textbook between the keyboard and me.

which is better, I need it for my junior and senior year of software engineering classes.

A. I am a software engineer,and i will suggest you to go for a laptop,and use an external keyboard with it at home,i will suggest you the one which i am using and it is awsome for virtual programming is
