Please log in for more thread options MS just told me on the phone that I didnt have to pay for pos 2009, as I
bought RMS at the end of July. They dont, however know where i can D-load it.
Ive not implimented the software yet because ive been waiting for this
release. MS's right hand dosent seem to know what their left is doing. Im
begenning to think I made a big mistake with this purchase.

Thanks!
