I thought it was only the top two editions -- Ultimate or
Enterprise -- that included this ? However, I'm typing this
from 7 Ult. 64, and I see no traces of it . . . but then, I
have no idea where they might be hiding it. I've already seen
that a lot of "non-essential" things (like FreeCell, for example)
are turned OFF by default *in Enterprise*, until you hunt down a
not so easily found place where they let you turn them back ON.
Windoze does not necessarily make such things easy. I can't even
find an easy access to specific site Cookies or Passwords in
IE (by trying to scan through very long lists, as instructed to
by the HELP system), whereas this takes but half a second in
FireFox.
