Well, the MicroSoft man said I was special ......

To be the 1st company in the world to receive it must be pretty good ...... isn't it?

Just upgraded to 2007 here Always like to be one step behind the rest of the world, still at least most of the bugs are ironed out that way.

Currently running Windows7 64bit though
