YES!!! That is why I posted this info to the list.Now there is one more thing that it an advantage of LO over MSO. You do not have to rent it.
I do not know how many people would be comfortable with renting software. I really would not trust MS not raising the rental fee for year two. Then there is the issue of having some code that MS will send to either give you another year of service or to disable MSO from being used. I would bet that there will be a "virus" that would be made and sent out that will disable such a built in enable/disable license code system.
