Most MS Office users I work with aren't power users and only type simple documents and use simple spreadsheets.
More often than not I see multi-page documents made with multiple CR/LFs than with 'real' page break.
The most compelling part is the schizophrenia simulator (Real player required). Headphones will give you the best experience. From the story:
Hearing voices is a nearly universal symptom of schizophrenia, and the simulation reproduces that in a way that Frey says is very authentic, and Silberner says is alarming: "The voices jump around you -- they're in front, now behind, now to your left, now on your right. They're persistent, impossible to ignore or filter out."
Details like great design were not critical to most customers, so that didn't really make it into the products, except where it mattered to the customer.
Great design could have precluded the worms and viruses and patches we've had to deal with.
What if IBM did subpoena Morgan Freeman? I count six of the seven deadly sins:
Vanity - believing that SCO is without fault and will prevail Envy - desiring all that Linux is and has Gluttony - consuming resources of the legal system and the Linux community Wrath - Darl's diatribes against Linux/OSS Greed - the SCO 'pump and dump' scheme Sloth - SCO does no work - they just sue, sue, sue! Lust - hmm... anyone?
Whats next? A company claiming the right to paint ads in your livingroom?
Wasn't this roughly the same argument the anti-PVR broadcasters used? Something about how TV viewers have a "contract" to view the commercials interspersed with their programming...

* Lots more outputs, lots more motors (solenoids, electromagnets, lights, LEDs) in the box.
* Li-ion rechargeable batteries
* Radio-control, possibly from your PC.
* Webcam (after all, who will buy it if it can't be used to make a climbing or flying spy-device?)
Slashdot Mirror

You see, The Canopy Group is the parent company of The SCO Group.
Isn't that the American way? Seems most corporations do the same thing -- pay off the CEO and shaft Joe Blow Worker Bee.
... until they come out with something better than the SX-64.
Now 'Longhorn' style cheddar takes on a whole new meaning.
Most MS Office users I work with aren't power users and only type simple documents and use simple spreadsheets. More often than not I see multi-page documents made with multiple CR/LFs than with 'real' page break.
But it's much easier to just pose the question to 'Ask Slashdot' and get a consolidated thread of answers.
But that would be following Apple's lead...again.
NPR has an excellent story on schizophrenia.

THG most likely wanted to avoid anything like the petswarehouse.com fiasco.
