Its was a fix idea that would include the addition of support for more
than one display device. Why stop at a NEAR DO WELL fix when it would
fix the rest of the install display device issues. Just one days work,
it would have taken~ Lack of power has issued a HALT instruction
waiting for power on interrupt..

Okay,,,,, Hax (wine) aside,,, Can we do this in small testing steps? I
just thought of it, can we download the viewers for Office 2003: Word,
Excel and Office 2007 Powerpoint and test them? I have Office 2003 and
do not have time to fuction with CD issues but instead copy the viewer
Exe install files to the ros  install cd. This would manage the
testing better, if anyone is reading this. After this, we can test the
big one after cleaning up the small ones. I have ID'ed one hax by m$
and it lite my fuse! That noone has brought this up with the USDOJ TC.
If you dont know, Dont ask.
