Wonder the cost of your stated "new install" of Ms Office vs Linux and OpenOffice? For the price difference I will continue to support and use Linux personally, even stating that, this is being written on a XP machine with a LOT of windows office "stuff" on it that I use because of old habits which are still being broken slowly by just swivelling around in my chair to a cluster of my personal Linux machines. .....steve

I don't see any reason why this would be deactivated(it sure isn't in MS Office, I just checked a new install).
Colin's point of the NFS mounted home directory completely escapes me. If someone can come up with a reason that can sink into my thick head, I
would like to know. At this moment it seems a very "elitist" position
to think that the average user(my spouse for instance) would have any
reason to assume that a feature like this would be deactivated. These
types of assumptions will keep all flavors of Linux from taking over
decent market share of the home desktop market.
Maybe Fedora isn't the right solution for the average person? :-(
P.S. Is this message over the top? I can never tell when I cross the line! :)
