>>> I never said why they cut prices, just that they did:-) The MSFT tools I use have gone way up in price since the early 1990's. VC++/Developer Studio full pro version is twice as high. SQL Server is higher for 100 users. NT Server is higher for 100 users. Windows is somewhat higher. Exchange server went from being a free product (nee MS Mail) to being a charge product. And now to get development libraries for special APIs and documentation and so on I have to shell out $500 bucks a year or more for the developer program, which was mostly free stuff when they still had competition. Even a msft mouse is higher. And help may now be a 900 number call. Used to be an 800 number call for me. Granted Word and Publisher and Excel are now less. So are you only talking about the products bundled into Office? Or what? Chaz
