Uhm PDF is not a cheap solution, not when Adobe Acrobat is a good 300 dollars.

Good marketing means seeking out vendors to develop under your product.
You'd think companies wouldn't mind developing for an OS that is deemed free..

Incorporation is an option yknow.  I do a Custom install, thus stopping IE4
and Purevoice from installing..  The America Online software installs IE4
non-electively, that's another story altogether.. Although, if you delete
the installer for IE4 from the tree, that stops that problem altogether.  I
hate AOL, unfortunately again, have to deal with it because there are some
delusional people that think it is "Sooo coool"..
