FYI, and to my disappointment, Front Page is only included as part of Office 2K Premium and Developer, not Office 2K Professional, Small Business or Standard! I'll bet most licenses fall in the latter three categories.

Good point -- it's also important to note that the majority of office workers in the U.S. -do- have some version of Office installed on their computers, which means that it's not an extra purchase for the company/school if they choose to use FP2K. Thus it's effectively "free" even if it's not technically free software -- since you wanted Word and Excel and Powerpoint anyway, you didn't have to fork over anything extra for FP2K. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com/ Technical Developer Relations, Reef http://www.reef.com/ Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain Internet http://idyllmtn.com/ Contributor, Special Ed.
