Hi Bruce, was wondering if you or anyone here can comment on my Vista question? I was using the free Works as my word processor and spreadsheet, included on my XP operating system. They don't seem to come with the Vista system. Is this Microsoft's way to generate more revenue forcing us to buy either Office or the Works suite? Are there any freeware programs that are reliable for word processing and spreadsheets?

Thanks much, Belgie
