I don't find this stuff amusing:

I installed Office the other day and today I clicked on a text file on a FTP site. The document opened in Word and Word took away all my browser controls: I couldn't go back to the previous page or ANYTHING. Only thing I could do was shut down the browser with ctrl/alt/del. It would have been OK if I didn't have my browser set on full-screen/auto-hide, but that's how I use my browser. I shouldn't have to change just to accomodate my text editor -- stupid #!&$@%$# MICROSOFT!! It's kind of like how Acrobat is difficult to deal with now, only worse.
