True, but some corporate firewalls prevent downloads, so unless Office
users at such companies have IT departments that handle this install
for them, they won't have it.
In this case, I think Adobe is more the villain than Microsoft. If
Adobe doesn't complain about write-to-PDF functionality in
OpenOffice/StarOffice, why should they complain about it in MS Office?
But the European Windows Media Player decision means Microsoft would at
least face big legal bills if they bundle this with Office (or Vista).
