Question:
The upgrade price of Microsoft Office 2004 is:

Choices:
Too high
Way too high
Way way WAY too high.
Absurdly, unfairly high considering the very minor cosmetic improvements to the software.
Another case of having to buy the same damn crap over and over that's symptomatic of the OS X era.

Holy Crap!! $239

They have not even released the "Professional" version. Which includes a whole bunch of Pro features that no one most likely will ever use.

Good thing we have a site license.

What is odd about Microsoft is that, for Office X, they charged the home user an arm and a leg for a single license, but the corporate users only had to pay $50 per license. And the trick with those licenses was that they were auto-generating. If you "borrowed" Office X from a computer with it already installed, you could just delete the ID file with the license info, and it would regenerate a whole new and different license upon restart. Had a whole slew of students with iPods testing that out. Probably will be the same for Office 2004.

Guess what?

The pro version is nothing but including Virtual PC. And get this, it's none other than Virtual PC 6.1, which is the same slow crap as now. So if you are already a VPC owner, no point in holding out for "pro."

Microsoft has been struggling with the license issue. How it checks the network for reg info. Meanwhile, I wouldn't say the "Open License Value" option for small business is any great shakes... you have to buy five licenses anyway. In my case it makes no sense to do any volume licensing with them.

Does any one know how to set up a letterhead template in word that does the following thing.

The Letterhead has logo at the top and address etc at the bottom. It is possible to set a template up that contains this info the one thing I cant figure out is how to make a templat that displays such info at top and bottom that you can write in the field in the middle without effecting what is on top and bottom i.e. what is on the bottom just gets pushed to a new page once you hit return.

I hate word.

Well using the Header and Footer function gives the results I was looking for. The only problem when a logo is imported for say the header, Word takes the logo which is sized appropriately already and makes it 5 times the size so it fills half the page.

Microsoft software engineers need to have electroshock therapy.
