AAAAaaaaannnnnd, there. Now that all the thoughtful conversation has ended, thus commences the obligatory hateful and uninformed anti-Microsoft rhetoric.
No offence Capt'n, but I've sold many a Microsoft product in the 15 years I have been doing so, and know quite simply for a fact that Microsoft do not have a single creative bone in thier entire body. MS Office is a perfect example of how to rip off open source projects and sell them for money... OpenOffice was around before MSOffice was on a Linux platform, and M$ ripped it off, icons and all.
My hate is not uninformed, nor is it even biased... I acctually don't like the fact that I hate Microsoft so much... but it's mainly driven due to the fact that they are the ONLY company in the world that can sell a defective product and get away with it... take Windows and the Xbox 360 as perfect examples of this.
Anyway, I still find thier futile attempt at making a "klick" product very humorous at the very least... I guess this is what you get when Microsoft does indeed try to make something without copying everyone else... that's why they end up just finding something better and buying it, or outright stealing it.
