What should they do? Stop making new versions of their software? Stop selling updated software? Why would we want them to stop making progress. You guys can all keep your office 97's,word perfect 1.0's and your open office's and that's fine. Why criticize a company for something every other software company does? They are more ripable for their strong-arm and anti-competitive practices than for improving their software. Yes yes we know you're crusty veterans of software and you think that your opinions matter the most but according to this first report, Office 2010 is indeed an improvement in many ways (despite it requiring more than 256k memory).
