Critique Mary’s pros and cons concerning this issue.

Mary Morrison, a second-semester sophomore business major at Big State University, was unpacking the new PC that her family had given her for Christmas when she discovered that, except for the Windows operating system, no software was included with the machine. Although the new PC was an adequate computer, it was an inexpensive machine, and one way that the store kept the price low was to not include software. Mary was concerned because she knew that she would need a good word processor, a spreadsheet program, and some presentation software, and she thought that this software would be included with the computer.
