The issue is not about arguing out of both sides of my mouth, it is you selectively picking statements out of my post in order to support your viewpoint depsite the fact that you distort the statements by using them out of context. You act as if I would not remember what I posted just a few minutes ago. The sentence directly below your choice selection from my post illustrates exactly how a company could go about minimizing risk and switching costs, but somehow you chose to ignore that because it invalidated your point.

Despite this fact, it is still quite possible for another vendor to market a competing app on from a technical perspective. VBA is freely licensed to third parties who are actually encouraged to integrate it into thier apps, thereby eliinating the need to recode much of MSFT's end users proprietary technology. Excel and Word files are read and written accurately by many third party applcations. Specialty add-in libraries are available for several products.
