More Windows Vista Fonts for Windows XP

Microsoft gives away their Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for
Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2007 file formats.

This office compatibility pack then allows older versions of these
programs to open, edit and save in the new file formats of 2007.
(.docx for Word, .xlsx for Excel, and .pptx for PowerPoint)

The good news is that you don't need and older version of MS Office
in order to install the compatiblilty pack. As long as the operating
system is Windows 2000 (SP4), Windows XP (SP1 or later) you can
install it.

The bonus is that you get all six of Microsoft's new ClearType fonts
in the deal, and it's all free & legal. Even if you uninstall the
pack, the fonts remain behind and can be used on any Windows program.

Just head over to:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466&displaylang=en
and download the file FileFormatConverters.exe and then run it.

You can uninstall the converters in Control Panel add/remove
programs if you really want to, and the fonts will remain behind.

That's it for this time...
