Enjoy -- I won't. I don't even think our company is going to do it, given the onerous "protections" they have built in. I just got 2000 -- f$ck it, it s&cks!! -- I want my NT back <ng> I had a better office suite in '90 on the Mac <ng> Bloated sh&t that doesn't work half the time!!

Just curious, from what OS? BTW, I predict they will back off the big brother licensing in about two years, coinciding with Linux getting much hotter than now. I used MS Word 3.0, waaaay back, when it was copy protected. They reversed that with MS Word 4.0 due to pressure and competition. They didn't have the market penetration back then, though, so I would expect them to try it again soon in the hopes of keeping their growth positive. If I had a new PC today I would certainly consider XP, although I probably would go with 2000 still (like my own home PC).
