I suppose the key point was ... 99% of the people who buy these cheap PC have wallets that are tighter than a virgin. If you screw them once and open them a bit, they will feel the pain and not let you screw them again Actually I think it's a natural path to buy more software/hardware as you become more computer literate and want to do more with your home computer ; something I'm sure all of us have done. It could be Quicken, Quake, Print Shop, Adobe Photoshop ... doesn't have to be just MSFT products. Office 2000 revenues are primarily from business related purchases (I think about 80%) therefore the cheap PC market won't make or break it. IMHO the MS Office bundle is the best of breed, easiest to use, and the most standard throughout the industry ... p.s. I wonder if Sun mgmt uses Powerpoint & MS Project ?;) James
