Larry's correct... I mispoke when I mentioned that it came with Win7, obviously it was included by the manufacturer's packaging (along with all the other cruft that took me 2 days to find and safely clean out :-). That said, Works version 9 looks to be a fairly nice little package from my 10 minute session with it. Disclaimer: I primarily only use linux for all of my systems. However, I have dual-boots w/WinXPPro and VM's with Win98 for testing, customer assists etc. Adding Win7 to the lot helps keep me "up-to-date". How else can I test OOo 64bit on Win7 otherwise? :-) OOo is a multi-OS program & hopefully it will remain that way even after Oracle's Larry lays off half of Sun's workforce... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
