New (at least it bloody well better be new, considering what I paid Lenovo for it)

Bingo! I don't want/need/like BCM and have been wondering if it would be safe to uninstall it.
I just want the basic Office 2007 components- Word, Excel, Publisher and Outlook. I don't even really need PowerPoint except that friends occasionally send me something that needs to open in PowerPoint.
Thanks, all, for trying to help.
