No, if they are smart, they will turn to Apple that has an actual future.

As an MVP, Milly, isn't that tantamount to treason?! ;o) Having said that,
I've been Windows-free for 24 days and I've not gone back to my PC for
anything (save to transfer files). I don't understand what took me so long to
switch.

I use both but find Windows much more suits what I need to do.

And, no, nothing in my post is negative about Microsoft's future, just a
comment on the overblown fantasies about Linux.

Hi Gerry,

The Action Pack is a Microsoft Partner's set
to use to help in internal training and marketing.

The Action Pack is intentionally not an Office Admin
Point supported series.
https://partner.microsoft.com/US/salesmarketing/actionpack/actionpackoverview/

Only Volume License Keys (VLK) have worked to create
an Office Admin Pack starting with Office 2000.


=======
Hi,

I don't know the exact answer, and what on earth is an "Action pack"?

What I do know, from recent roll-out of Office 2003 is that the AIP
option and the transform option appear to now be limited to "special"
releases of Office 2003 such as Volume License option. I had to request
special media from our Volume License supplier to get it to work with
our Volume License keys.

Personally, I think this decision is short-sighted, together with
similar decisions across the rest of the Microsoft product line.

In some ways you could argue "why give home users the option to
customize" and use AIPs? Well in my view there's lots of reasons.

1. AIPs are better than local install source, even for home computers.

2. The home users of today are the Enterprise Admins of tomorrow, and
Microsoft are basically locking out the learning process of the young
hobbyists who can't afford to buy a volume license for their home
computer. This will stifle innovation, and those guys will experiment
with Linux instead where they are respected and allowed to install and
compile on as many computers they feel like.

The big bucks I make today providing Microsoft solutions are a result of
all the free tools Microsoft used to provide, and being able to set them
up at home. These new restrictions mean this is no longer possible. >>
