That makes sense.
I downloaded IE-7 for free, to upgrade XP, rather than Vista. And my msWord does the job so no upgrade there.

I can see, if I buy a new PC, asking Dell how much without Windows and using freeware. Don't know if it would be much cheaper, although I know they want $79 more for msWorks with msWord.

Probably, for those that actually build their PCs, it would be a substantial savings... if you understand the ins and outs of Bios and that stuff.
