I use Caps Lock all the time. Any time I type an acronym of three or more capital letters, I hit Caps Lock first as my tyrannical keyboarding instructor taught me to do. It saves strain on my Shift fingers.
But this license isn't about pure pacifism. It's about what the most powerful militaries currently in existence in the world are most often used for.

They're not trying to take your religion away, they are justifiably mocking the minority of Christians who are Young Earth Creationists.
Since the Office 2007 UI sucks, why would anyone else want to use it in their software?

They'd be better off switching from Lotus Notes. What a bloated piece of crap.
