According to average US Corporate Rates of Return M$ prices should be about 20% of what they actually charge (what the market will bear). Accordingly 20% x $920 for M$ Office (Harris Technology price) = $184. So by shrugging your shoulders at M$ monopoly and not supporting competition against M$ you pay dearly! http://www.lindows.com/lindows_michaelsminutes.php -- My e-mail address to fox the pesky spammers is vbien at attglobal dot net
