Companies don't buy software bundles with their PCs. The licensing scheme is different. Most companies distribute common software images to all employees, and keep them standard regardless of whether new hardware is added.

Microsoft's new corporate licensing schemes will make it more cost-effective to keep up with the more recent upgrades, but as they are not demanding much more in terms of hardware performance, it's a non-issue for most hardware.

I dunno Tench, I can load Office 2000 on all the PC's around the house with ease. With Office XP, I'd have to spend well over a grand to do so due to activation. Nice argument for the 'status quo' in my book, especially in view of the fact that I see absolutely nothing in Office XP that is even remotely worth the dough for multiple copies...



Regards,
John
