I am one of the people forced to use Word and Power Point by a nitwit CIO. Calculated the firm (30 000 people) loses 15 % of its time every day in MS bugs and incompatibility

All that lost productivity...<sigh> Maybe a breakup of MSFT is just the ticket we need to get Alan Greenspan off of our cases. Just imagine... as we all start using Linux products and get away from MicroSerf, US productivity will increase 15% and then AG will HAVE TO cut interest rates.... (tongue planted firmly in cheek, of course... <VBG>

Btw, just last night I was trying to download a large file from a site. So while I'm downloading, I decided to surf around a little bit. But alas, whilst halfway through my download (130 meg, I seem to recall), my browser(IE5.0) suddenly locked up and I had to reboot. That also meant that I begin my download all over again.

Thank you Bill Gates.... You have numbed (dumbed?) all of us internet users down to the point where we expect your BS software to crash on us just when we need it most.

Regards,

Ron
