Can I ask mainly BB, but also IsaoShi, if in the future these dependencies will be removed so that I can run 2010 on my machine that will not be reliant on third party applications, or allowed to access the need of IE? Isn't reliance on the OS enough? I had wanted to have a dedicated machine for just my apps/progs. While that is sort of counter the render interdependency on this programs system, I also want the ability to run my progs off line and without the need to rely IE8 or other enities.  

I hope this makes some sense...?!

Thank you....
