Powerpoint is the biggest waste of bandwidth in the world - ever have to download a 4 MB powerpoint file on a 28.8 modem with containes nothing but a bunch of bulleted items - you could put this in ASCII or in the body of an email in 20K. No wonder productivity of computers is questioned with all this cr*p bloatware circulating around. as far as buying more software - ask compusa if people are buying more software - with this big increase in cheap PC's you would think this category would be exploding but people are doing things in the browser not going to stores and plunking down money for out of date, hard to install PC software that may cost more than their 399 PC.

p.s. I wonder if Sun mgmt uses Powerpoint & MS Project No, they don't. SUNW outlawed MSFT garbage-ware many years ago, even before Java.
