Other than the huge size of this file -- which isn't a problem for me because
I have a blazing fast broadband connection that will download it in minutes
-- what exactly would be the downside to installing this "network" version on
a single computer instead of waiting for a smaller download to show up on
Windows Update?

[Note: this is a shorter version of a question that I asked Carey Frisch on
another related thread.]

TIA

The Network install is feature complete. Also, by downloading & burning it
to CD's you can help distribute it to people using dial-Up. The more people
help others acquire it - will lower bandwidth use. So I can't really think
of a
downside to getting the Network/IT package. Besides, we are some time
away from AU via Windows update for most XP users.
