And as for MS Word and the *&%$ing *&^@#*&?~!@ that decided it was a good idea to hide all the menu options by default if you haven't clicked on them lately.. Just don't get me started!

And if you haven't already encountered it, just wait until you try to use Office 2k7!!

Hiding menu contents in Office is painful, especially on school computers where your configuration to turn it off is overwritten every time you login.

And then there's the drawing canvas. Many a day has a whole page lost its formatting while drawing an object because the pizzabox decided to appear in the middle of your text.

IE is a complete failure. It's almost as if Microsoft purposely makes their software full of glitches.

This could be a possibility. In this way users are pushed to buy the latest windows ( $ for microsoft ) which requires more modern hardware ( $ for oems).

Nixes are by the users for the users.
Windows is by the rich for the rich

A _multi-billion_ dollar organisation creates a product less useful than any of the *nixs. I smell something odd

Wasn't there a James Bond movie with a giant media organisation following along the same lines? Ah yes, Tomorrow Never Dies.

By memory the corrupt head of the organisation requested his software to be full of bugs to tie the world to paying for their updates.


And a general comment about the posts on this blog - they have become less frequent and lacking much depth. What's happening to what was some of the best reading on the internet?

And if you haven't already encountered it, just wait until you try to use Office 2k7!!

I quiet like 2k7. After a few hours of learning, you'll get a feeling for it.

Without learning it, your comment is like "ehww PS cs4 sucks, 'cause paint is easier to controll."

@Ray: Encountered it. Hate it. Fortunately don't need to use it often. I gather OO is planning on copying it. May have to resort to Koffice. Or TeX..

@Will: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

As for the posts - It's called "life". Too much to do, too little to blog about. Things'll calm down eventually.

@sinner: I've spent a few hours using it. Nothing has ever made me revise my very low opinion of it tho.

And PS *does* suck, because Gimp's interface is better ;o)
