Microsoft Project Viewer

Need to view a MS Project (.MPP) file but don't have Project?
Microsoft doesn't make a free viewer for this application like they do for Word and PowerPoint.

I found a website that lets you view the files for free!!!! http://www.highlydeveloped.net/

It's free and lets you view the files without having to spend $300 or whatever it now costs for a Project license. However it cost $10 if you want to print. Break the bank. $10 to print!!!
