Not sure where exactly to get Outlook, but it's not there by default. MS Word and Office in general is one of their real cash cows and they keep that seperate, video/VoIP you have to go download MSN Messenger. Regarding a browser, yeah they include IE but really the best use for that is downloading Firefox, which we offer by default. -- ~Michael http://michaelbox.net _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
