Richard,

not intending to start a MSFT debate....

The part that annoys me the most is not only am I forced to buy a product that crashes all the time, I am forced to pay for fixes disguised as upgrades and on top of it all, I am supposed to kiss mighty Bill's feet for "innovation and giving the consumers what they want".

I still own a real estate brokerage. MSFT is in the process of using their powerful monopoly to corner the entire multiple listing market. My bet is they will succeed because they PAYING to provide the service vs their competitors who have to CHARGE so they can pay the bills. Didn't mighty MSFT do the same to a company called Netscape? I am glad that I will be out of that business by the time that I am forced to pay MSFT another monopolistic fee.

Then again, if Bill Clinton can have 60+% approval rating, why shouldn't $Bill have his own fan club also.
