    Nope, this is the Mac, and not Windows.

    I'd bet that almost all of the Office/OSX stuff was contained in Applications:Microsoft:Office:* or something similar, with only non-critical data like preferences external to that tree.

    If it was Windows, you'd have to copy the Office files, a bunch of DLLs from the System Directory and a plethora of registry keys.

    Installing / uninstalling software on the Mac doesn't often require the use of anything more than the original directory and the trash can.
