Hey, It's same here in Slovenia. You can get a comp without an OS only if the reseller is in "good mood", your friend of relative :]. But please mind another thing: Microsoft is doing a big pressure on all it's resellers, especially "Microsoft Solution Providers". Shall they start selling another OS [or commercializing it], suddendly, prices on MS producst for that company will "slowly" start to rise... Big bad Microsoft? Well, Microsoft is and has always been a "company", and as far as I know, companies are mostly looking for money. As I'm studying economics [I+m 17], I can only understand and "worship" their "haste for money", although as a costumer I don't like their price policy. But, hey, not everybody can become an almost-monopolist... -- Kind regards, Ziga Dolhar ------------------------------------------- libmoney.so.5 is needed by VMWare in order to run MSOfficeXP
