Actually, I'm planning to take that "free" update and try it on one machine. Other than my server and one partition on my personal laptop I plan to upgrade the rest of the operation --- to Linux. The cost of updating one of the clients (a small church) to Vista is prohibitive when you factor in all the associated programs that will also need updating. Office2000 to Office2007 for them is eye-watering! -- Will Honea
