This is a tremendous amount of sales getting wasted Office is the main income for Microsoft. They should have killed off the Win9x family once Win 2K became available — it probably would have same them megabucks in support and the entire world billions in virus cleanup. In countries that this is deemed legal! My original, badly-phrased post, was intended to point out the coincidence that this move has happened after Suse and Xandros have both released versions of a desktop OS that supports MS Office out-of-the-box.

That statement is redundant. But then Windows XP is also insecure. But then that statement is redundant also. Not that it affects me. PS: I pay for all software that I install. Including buying Linux distributions and Star Office. I also paid for my Mac. I paid the lowest price I could for Windows 98 and I pay for all the apps and games that are not actually supposed to be free. I do believe in them. I was in a hotel in Athens in and having a good time with my ex-fiance, the evening we arrived in Athens we gone there for shopping.

The person of the next room opened his door too, and we were sure that he had heard us, as we were making quite some noise…. Then, he turned to us, and we in horror saw that the guy was no one else but the house owner of the house we were normally living, Km from Athens, in Preveza. Needless to say, we got frozen. Talk about statistics and probabilities…. Athens is a city of at least 5 million people and it has hotels everywhere.

Well, I would guess if it were indeed illegal, the Microsoft legal hounds would have shut them down long ago, especially since the Crossover stuff is sold commercially. Since you believe that Crossover is so wrong, then I would guess you completely disagree with the concept of Wine, and reverse engineering the win32 API?

Hmmm, with the announcement of some other distros using Wine much more recently, it seems others are jumping on the Wine bandwagon. Everyone is entitled to their opinion I guess….

Having seen whats in SP3, thats where I get off the bus, no calling home for me, no auto add features against my will.

If thats true, then the world is a very sick place. Huh…if MS really does cut the cord with Office 11 and other apps. I do like Word, and use it a lot for work, etc. No problem. To all the Microsoft buffs out there, why should I, or infact, anyone need to upgrade beyond XP? Is there any reason? What would I like to see? Crossover Office team up with Adobe, Macromedia and Corel so that these companies can help Codeweavers can bridge the gab between Windows and Linux. I could easily say na, or, if you support Codeweavers, that could be yours.

It is quite alright to run Office on Linux using crossover office. Apple is notorious for not considering backward compatibility. Yet, no one seems to speak ill of them.

Given I agree that it is strange they dropped winME support while still supporting win2k not many people moved to ME anyway. However, if it were illegal, I would think that codeweavers would have been shut down a long time ago. In terms of morality, what are you talking about? What particular set of morals are you testing this against? MS does the right thing and everyone is all over them.

They expect you to move up. This is not forcing an upgrade. If you want new features upgrade. Otherwise stop complaining. Most the problems in windows are in the 9x series, if MS could get people off them and kill it for good they would get rid of most their problems. People just want to complain about MS. If everyone was running XP and current MS products people would have very little to bitch about.

And they have no reason to. If your going to be a hard ass and bitch about problems and want thing for your old OS and hardware that the world has gone by, shut up. Your the one not moving. They have responsabilty to their latest products. There seams to be way to many MS conspiracy freaks around. Give MS a break, yes they do things not right at times, but even when they do things right they get attacked. One can only imaging how much crap has to go into things like windows for legacy stuff.

You could probably run XP on a 25mhz, there is not reason for it. Doing something like Be did with beos and only support P1 and up is something windows could use only make it Pii or Piii and up.

Probably shrink the install down some to. If your going to run office 11 you might as well upgrade to XP. The only people who are complaining are those who would just get a copy from a freind.

They are just trying to improve product and get people upgraded. Not everything MS does is a conspiracy against linux. I have to agree with Brad on several points. I also agree that most people only need 97 and not a newer version of Office, heck, I usually use OpenOffice.

You might recall in the news recently that MS boasted record profits this quarter while the tech sector earnings were down overall. Might this have anything to do with the new licensing agreements?

If they want to take advantage of volume Office discounts while upgrading computers, etc. They probably boasted it was secure when it launched. Now they are spending supposedly over 1 billion to audit their OSes and Office suites.

I mean because of the complicated issues, they have the right to cut support for older machines. I mean, they already cut support for Windows 3. This is very normal. Everybody does that. There is nothing to discuss here. Let me tell you something real to discuss about. Instead of downloading any other application Windows XP already has it.

Wait now I can close it. It was followed up by Windows ME. If a download does not include a boot disk, please see Microsoft Windows Boot Disks.
