There aren't many M$ products in > common circulation! Oh, but there are! My Action Pack binder has maybe 100 Microsoft products. Let me see: MS Project 2002 MS Project Guides MS Sharepoint Services Standard 2003 MS SQL Server Reporting Svcs MS Publisher 2003 MS Mappoint MS Visio MS FrontPage MS Windows Server Enterprise MS One Note MS Virtual PC MS SQL Server MS Office Live Comm Server MS Sharepoint Portal Server MS Exchange Enterprise Server MS Mobile Info Server And that's just one section of six. About 1/2 of these have activation codes.

Looks like the green-eyed monster has bitten another consumer not able to qualify as a Microsoft partner and is jealous someone else has more money. Please explain where HeyBub stated that the action pack was for his personal or home use rather than for his business or "my" really referred to his employer's copy. Besides, if he has the money, what do you care where he spends it? Yeah, you drive a Kia and someone else with more money buys a Lexus. So what. They've probably spent a portion of their income that is the same as yours. Amazing how everyone wants to be rich but then berates anyone who already is. "common" is defined by how the populace is defined to which the term applies. All the OP said was "There aren't many M$ products in common circulation". Well, when speaking of Windows, the topic of this forum, that statement is obviously false even with just consumers who buy individual Microsoft products to use on a Microsoft operating system. Often it only takes the need for a few of Microsoft's products to realize that a subscription (*if* you can qualify) is a cheaper solution. Maybe when you get a job or a better job to make more money or have worked long enough to accrue some assets then you, too, can afford to qualify for a subscription and pay for it. Until then, keep remembering to push those fries before ringing up the sale.

I guess there are just some people whose brain operates differently from normal folk. The Action Pack subscription costs $200/year. In addition to the stuff I mentioned, it include ten licenses for XP-Pro and ten licenses for MS Office. Just those two packages are worth several thousand dollars for our small software company. (Not of interest here, but it also includes a like number of licenses for Vista and Win 7). The subscription also includes the full MS Customer Relations Management, which, if we bought all the options, would cost over $50,000. Even a minimum configuration begins at five grand. True, the licenses are limited to: * Training, * Development, and * Internal use and cannot be sold or transferred out of the company.
