No, it isn't and I don't want them to necessarily fill them out on line.

You're wrong again. Forms don't exactly fit under intellectual property,
doofus.

I want them to print it and edit part of it. You are assuming that my
clients are computer savvy. They aren't.

Of course, you only choose to comment on the one thing where you think
you have a "gotcha" and ignore the rest of the post just like Frank,
Spanky and Bill would but what else is new from the Windows fanboys camp?

You're confusing the verbs "can" and "may".

They're tied to the hardware. If you upgrade the machine the
license remains valid. Upgrade is undefined.

Yeah, what you lamely thought was a "gotcha". You failed which, of

What is it with COLA Linux loons and transgender ruminations?
First it was Rex running around in a dress.
Then Roy (Racine) does some weird sex change stuff.
Now we have High Plains Humper aka bobbin Robin, cutting off the wedding
tackle.

Linux sure seems to attract the oddballs.

I disagree a bit with that, the crucial factor was always extending
support. Another 6 years is a pretty good achievement in terms of
getting a big corporation to listen to customers. So instead of too late
maybe "Just in time" would be the key. Poor Vista sales are not just the
result of complaints, there is a small but noticeable financial crisis
in the US right now, we are both in the middle of it. Forecast of $5 a
gallon gas, a billion dollar loss of crops which will inflate food
prices, layoffs all around and no end in sight in Iraq means that if the
Government will not tighten their belts the public will do it for them.
MS will be smart to recognize this. People are not going to invest
$1000+ in a new computer unless they really can be confident it's
"Disposable" income.

Apples & oranges. Windows Life Cycle policy (for WinXP) hasn't changed,
Charlie: WinXP SP3 will have Extended Support until 08 April 2014. Support
for WinXP SP2 ends 13 July 1010. More:

Neither will a Golden Lab. Nor, when a Golden sh*ts on you, do you
have to hire a lawyer to clean it up.
