Peter, When M$ started their hard-nose tactics with WMA for Office2000 first, and then with XP, this prompted me to select another Distro and I chose to go with Lindows-OS v-4.5.122 at present. I use dual boot on my systems with Lindows, XP & Win2K which are there for posterity in case some program is incompatible with Lindows. Also M$ has chosen to demand an excessive fee for all their Programs like Office2003 for instance. My Lindows came with Open Office 1.1 FREE, and I also went for Sun's Star Office 7.0 through Lindows CNR for $29, which is compatible with M$ Office programs. I have a FREE Lifetime CNR Membership for all future products and upgrades for Lindows-OS. I can use Lindows on all my home systems legally, and no WMA to be bugged with. So M$ will soon be just a past memory for me. . .

Lately there has been much discussion as to what MS is discontinuing from it's lineup as a result of it's legal settlement with Sun over the JVM. And what has not been covered is products which may be re-released later on.
Here is the list of affected products: Office XP Developer Visio 2000 Backoffice Server 2000 Office 2000 Developer Office 2000 Tools Office 2000 Multilingual Office 2000 Premium SR-1 Office 2000Service Pack 2 Outlook 2000 Project 2000 SQL Server 7 SQL Server 7 Service Pack 3 Embedded Visual Tools 3.0 Visual Studio 6 MSDE IE 5.5 MapPoint 2002 Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3 and Service Pack 5 Windows 98 (not Windows 98 Second Edition) Windows 98 Y2K Windows 98 Resource Kit Windows 98 Service Pack 1 (not Windows 98 Second Edition) Windows NT (Terminal Server and Option Pack add-ons only) Visual Basic for Alpha Systems
Products which are to be re-released without the JVM are to include Small Business Server 2000, Office XP Professional with FrontPage and Windows NT 4.0.
Happy upgrading !!:)
