About a month or so, give or take a week or two. M$ has gotta realize they have a big fat target painted on their corporate forehead. Actually, I kinda wish It wouldn't get cracked - that way it can't be bootlegged/pirated and all the users will have to pay full price for each. This in turn will inevitably lead to an exodus from M$ products based on price alone. Just my $0.02 U.S. Cheers. Curtis On Saturday 02 June 2001 11:43 am, Alan Lenton wrote:
