Hi GV, RE: "One major part of the .NET plan is monthly fee that Microsoft is counting on charging users. I have thought that this presents a significant hurdle to widespread adoption. What do you think about this facet? " I noticed that too. I have some thoughts on this. I think there are some things they could do if it backfires, that may make it "sound" like a service charge, but is nothing more than a glamorized seat charge. So, I tend to doubt the initiative would be threatened by this, even if a monthly fee didn't work. Regards, Amy J
