Mr. Burcham,

I got Windows 2000 with an option to upgrade to Windows XP.  I bought it in
custom configuration(not a package deal) from http://www.buy-atlas.com
and I got it with Sun Micro StarOffice 5.2.

I know that you are pleased.  I do not recommend that others do the same, since
buying from streamlined jobbers like Atlas microsystems is frustrating when
something goes wrong. They do seem to know more than stores like "Best Buy" who
like to hire dumb highschool kids as sales reps.
