Why "Upgrade" To Office 2007

Posted by Hemos on from the a-question-asked-everywhere dept.

walterbyrd writes "IMO: Office-2007 is a contender for the least useful upgrade in the history of computing. It's expensive, has a steep learning curve, and it's default format is even less compatible with anything else. Stan Beer discusses the "upgrade" in his article: Question: why do I need to upgrade to Office 2007?."

    Who are you kidding?

    Try reading the summary for this very story, and then say that Slashdot is "an MS apologists' haven".

    Once again, an example, of broken slashdot moderation.

    Anyone that _dare_ violates the Slashdot Sacred Cows:

    Google
    Linux
    Open Source
    Anti-Microsoft
    Apple
    Apple
    Apple
    iPod
    iPhone
    "i*" -cisco

    Get's mod'd into oblivion.

    This is no better than Fox News "Fair & Balanced" tagline. They should at least go for truth in advertising and call it what it really is: The Slashdot Editorialization System

    Yes I know editorialization isn't a word.
