Nope office doesn't bind. It's outlook, or more precisely outlooks addressbook. If you are a sales/Marketing/Executive type your address book is probably the most valuable data real estate you have. The thought of having to comb through it, re-create it, modify it etc is scary beyond words.
I recently made 3 system backups for our CEO, just to give him a warm fuzzy on his addressbook before we even tried to update it to a newer version of outlook. Let alone to another product.
Then there is the mail itself. We keep copies of 10 year old Eudora installers around just in case 10 year old data in E-mail needs to be re-read. (get sued find out how far back you really do need to go!)
Nope E-mail is the key. Reams volumes and tonnes of E-mail and the associated Address book. Without that who cares what the OS is.
Which begs the obvious question

1. Do businesses that resell on consignment (Like 2nd hand Rose a local store that sells used clothing on consignment) have to get auction licenses?
2. Does this violate Title 15 (IIRC on the title number) which requires equal access to the handicapped. Since one of the requirements is talking fast, what happens if you are mute, but running an e-bay consignment selling business?
You see the problem is as always. In order to give themselves a pay raise the politicians need more taxes. (Dang, tax and spend Republicans)
Mine, Mine, Mine,... Mine, Mine..... *sigh*. The real problem comes in domain name ownership. I can see it now people asking the question "Am I at http://www.wellsfargo.com/ the bank or http://www.wellsfargo.com/ the Nigerian scam site. What it really boils down to is taxes. The internet is a system that exceeds the lawbreakers(makers whatever) ability to grasp in a manor that they can wrap a tax around.

I'm sorry but this is like using the new "Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Feature" If it's broken disable it! What's next, do we box up our kids, feed them through a slot and not let them out until they are 18? IMHO The Neo-Con(artist) mentality of "You have nothing but fear" (VS You have nothing to fear but fear itself) has reached a new low with this one.
I apologize for being a bit too political here but I'm growing increasingly tired of this Liberal psuedo Religious Republican fear mongering that has gripped America. These preditors exist because they know the following.
1. Mommy and Daddy are too busy going to Politcal Fund Raisors, Drinking beer on the back porch or attending bible thump sessions to attend to their children.
2. The state has told the parents over and over. Shut up we are better at children than you are. Screw, give birth and turn them over to us, and the state hasn't a clue how to protect them.
3. If parents do get involved in monitoring their children and caring for them and the state finds out. BIG trouble. (You slapped your childs hand and made it cry!..... Child abuse charges will follow.)
4. The more laws and "protections" the state envokes the easier it becomes to get around the sytem.
5. If you have enough money and donate wisely, you can do as you will.
Now this carp. Wow. Now we are fully admitting to our children that we as adults aren't capable of doing anything to protect them or guide them. No wonder so few of them trust us. On this thought I'll remind so many of you what happened in Romania. The goverment forced it's people to give up child care to the state. Now, most of those children are HIV positive and or dead. Get on the Clue train America, We won't protect our children by hiding the world from them, The only way to protect them is to show them the full extent of the danger then give them the tools and the knowledge on how to deal with it.
My 3 year old a while back was approached by a gentlemen as I watched. The gentlemen (an arthritic grandfather type, I sensed no danger but watched) started to speak to him and he said "Do I know you?" The gentlemen replied "No" and my son said. "Then I can't talk to you till you talk to my daddy first." (btw he got a big hug and a small candy for his actions) The words where his, but the idea of not talking to strangers unless mommy or daddy ok it was a tool I gave him to deal with the world.
People, Tell the government to go abuse itself. You are not dumb and incompitent like they keep telling you, that you are. You are capable of making decisions and dealing with your children. Despite the fact that you voted for these parisites on the teats of the political whore.
From having lived/worked and done business in Korea for the last 15+ years, you need to understand the very different attitude in business and competition they have. For example the concept of owning a product from ore to showroom which in the US for example is a form of monopoly, in Korea is standard business method. It's possible to live in a home built by one of the major chaebol's (Samsung Hyundai Daewoo Lotte etc) wear clothes manufactured by them, eat food packaged and processed by them, all of your furniture, medicines, electronics, etc etc etc all from 1 single company. (In fact many do). There, what we call price fixing in the US, is thought of as protecting the small business. It's impossible for any one company to sell a product cheaper than the market rate to prevent the large chaebol's (a form of verticle conglomerate) from price gouging to control the market. This means that Samsung, who in this case controls the majority of the market in flash memory chips, cannot drop the price below what Hyundai sells it for, if that is the market rate.
Anyone who tries to put a "Right or Wrong" spin on it in this respect is a fool in that you are dealing with the blue mud syndrome (ala Heinlein, and Lazurus Long). If you are in a place where all of the people rub blue mud on their bellies and you don't join in. It is you that are wrong, not them.
Note too that Korea has in place a methodology in the law that allows for one to challenge the market price and change it (up or down) which Samsung may well be able to do, and market forces may demonstrate the need. The question is, did Samsung lower the price to draw business away from other Korean companies, or did they do it to get the business into Korea at all. The problem Samsung faces is that they have always been looked upon by the government as the "rebel child", in that the president/CEO/Owner of the company is Western educated and oriented in his business attitude (oh and btw his wife is every bit his equal, for example she is a principle in Industrial Light and Magic.)
And it's sad that I have to ask. But wouldn't Tesla's family have claim to a number of patents in this area? After all the trasmission of power without wires was his #1 quest throughout his life. In the end this could really mess up this companies patent portfolio

Yes I am. Most of the people who want to share this stuff can't correctly operate their spy-ware magnet..... but they can push the "duplicate" button on their DVD player/recorder. Directions on the one I have a real hard.

4. Do you want to make another copy of this DVD?
BTW my home DVD player/Recorder will do 8GB and 12GB DVD's... but my comp is limited to 4GB.
This may also explain part of why people aren't buying your *$^%%$ CD's! (but are buying the Indy ones!) Nah... it's Apples fault if Jobs wasn't selling so may songs at a price the market likes, people would be buying more songs at a higher gouge rate. ( Hey it's their logic paradigm not mine.)
You admit to letting your domain name registration expire. Where's the pre-selling?
Learn to read. The time lag between my losing the domain and the other guy picking it up was 0. There was no "statis Period" as outlined in the agreement and noted by others. If the domain wasn't "valuable" then 42 days before possesion transferred I would have been cut off with time to say "oh Shizza" pay my "fine" so to speak and not bother/.
In order for the time lag to be 0 it had to be sold before it expired. You cannot buy a domain during the 42 day period (by ICANN rules) you can buy it after that period, and now thanks to rule benders Before that period.
First... I ain't your bud. Second, if stated policy (like the 40 day grace with all the domain in stasis) had happened I'd be kicking myself in the butt, and no problem. Heck it even happened to Microsoft (hotmail) and a number of other name domains. The complaint is that the registrar you are so fond of sold off a domain with a high google rank (#1 depending on the search) to a domain add spammer.
BTW the day after I bought the same domain with the top 3 tld's since they were unowned (and known to me had been for a while) then noticed that the.tv.biz.ws.info and.name where also available.
I'll admit to having botched my records. But if proper procedure had been followed and if domains were not pre-sold, then I would be apolgizing not pointing out a problem in the system and warning friends and peers that the probelem exists beware.
My end hope here is to alert others to what can happen, heck what is happening, behind their backs. Read some of Doc Searles work on Cyber Identity to understand what I'd built up and feel I should have a right to protect.
For 40 days, the domain is in a grace period where all services are shut off, but the domain owner may still renew the domain for a standard renewal fee.
First you are correct. Second despite the print advertising this flat didn't happen if it had. I wouldn't have "Asked Slashdot"
But be realistic - you were notified that the domain was expiring. You failed to act within what is now a very generous expiration window.
No I was not notified. Not a peep. Normally I would expect that the day of expiration, they would "cut me off" then I would have the 42 days to rebuy. (as outlined in the agreement I clicked to 3 years ago) Nope 12 midnight on the 18th of Sept 2004 I was cut off and at 8am on the 19th of Sept 2004, when I woke up and tried to get mail etc..... Someone else owned my domain.
The actually experation was apparently 6 Aug 2005 and I had no indication that this domain was up. (I've about 50 I keep track of. Of course mine slipped. The others are all now with another registrar.)

I didn't say this... but... you hit the nail on the head. But note that having an ethical registrar won't protect you. Want proof? Try this technic go to go-daddy, or almost any other registrar. Search for a domain you own. (or one you know will never get lost... hopefully like slashdot.org) They will for 18.95 or there about, SELL you a lottery ticket. That lottery ticket says that if this domain every goes on the market we will try to registar it immediately for you. (kind of like auto bids on e-bay) Now if they are the registrar of record for that domain then they know that they will have the inside track on ensuring that one of the people who they sold a ticket to gets the prize.
Now riddle me this. Which one is more valuable? A 6.95 renewal or an 18.95 lottery ticket.

The problem isn't a universal installer. In fact the installation phase is the least of your problems. 99% of what people are trying to solve, is, IMHO a problem with square pegs and round holes.
