No not at all....
Just curious as to the hidden motives behind this. Knowing MS from the past, you almost have to assume something is afoot. Then again, maybe not. Like I said, just curious.

Also, the free installer you are talking about is not the same as what MS themselves were useing to create install pkgs. But, according to what I have been reading, this is what MS uses, and is now available for anyone to use & modify. Unless I'm wrong, or not reading into it right?

Any thought's?
