So where can we grab the source from to validate your claims, check for security holes, or make variances between what you think we want and we want for ourselves? Exchange may be the most wonderful (or profitable?) thing you've ever worked on, but from my POV it loses on every count. No source, no portability, not useful. FWIW, we microwaved a whole set of MS BO disks last night, to christen the new microwave in a friend's office. He's planning on putting them in the same drawer as the Asia-Pacific NT developers' conference Tshirt that he wore while stripping and rebuilding the engine in his car this summer. Until MS are willing to play the right game, small ISVs like us are just going to keep ignoring them. I suspect that they really don't care, but I certainly feel no need to be polite about them in return. 8) *grumble* > Michael L.
