I never cared for Visio... but a friend wants to "practice" with it, maybe put something on a CV about it... What individual's gonna buy that horrendously expensive product just for practice! Visio 2010 is the last one to support WinXP, so it's the easiest way to build a not too heavy XP virtual machine with O2010/Visio2010. Thanks to "Stan the Man" Stannieman (arrrr!) for the original product switcher, to web.archive.org for a secure Retail version from digitalriver (with intact digital signature), and finally to LostED for a mirror that's alive and doesn't svck! The final ISO has all its appropriate files' digital signature verified (for those who'd like to know), and all went well with Hotbird's marvelous open-source (local) emulated KMS server. (yeah, I did used the "Thanks" button, but sometimes -- in a thread long deserted -- something more extensive needs to be said to/about this community!)
Thanks for the keeping links up. It really helped me in reinstalling my office 2010 in my office laptop.
