    I thought the whole copyrighted XML part was just older versions of Word, and the latest versions didn't even have it.

    I posted this because my MS trial expired a few months ago, and now i use open office, but MS still nags me to buy their MS 2007 home and student. so if they are banned t sell their word, why are they nagging me and telling me last chance to buy under 100 bucks?

    Only applies to 2007 actually. and the ban isn't global as far as I know.
