What is "qualifying hardware"?
It does not mean you can walk in off the street and buy a copy, without hardware purchase. >> How much does it cost off the shelf at a regular >> retailer, such as Staples? >> > > Apparently you are interested in inflating the price of competitor.

I do not think so. > I quoted the price of a very popular office supply store, where the "average person" would walk in, pick up the package from the shelf and then proceed to the cashier. That is not inflating the price.

In many locations, those computers are not attached to a network, so there's not quite so much of a security risk. Either way, $294 is still a long way from free download. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
