Thanks but I was just giving a reason why people update.
I don't have or use MS Office since I was a student. I had to write down my 300+ pages thesis and at the same time being able to bring it around on a diskette... oo did the trick with 800KB, MS needed several MB, so it was bye, bye, since then ^^
These days, if anyone sends me a.doc document I open it on oo. The ones that don't look good are probably not worth looking at anyway (using wordart or other goofy embedded stuff).
If I really need pixel accuracy I request a pdf - even MS Office itself displays things differently from computer to computer (depends on the printer settings, if I remember correctly).

And it is very cheap.
... because they would risk being imprisoned and suddenly disappear, I guess.
Terror! Be very afraid! Boo!
Not the same people. The team that did ie6 is long gone. Gates was the head of Microsoft at that time.
Now it's a new team, with a different head (Ballmer)
And more than 10 years ago, in Bjarne Stroustrup's "Generalizing Overloading for C++2000". PDF can be donwloaded here:

Pages 4-5 delve with this.
It was also a joke paper. Like I hope this article is.
"who else would have the means and would volunteer?"
China.
I don't get the streetview point.
I can "invade your privacy" as well as google. It just takes a camera, legs, and a website.
And I wouldn't blur people's faces.

I'm talking to you, developers that spend time, energy and money on learning and using microsoft technologies.
Even if it fills the plate today, for your own shake, invest some time on alternatives to ms-only. Otherwise you can see that knowledge go to waste.
Learn from history.
Horror! Panic! Run!
By eliminating the boring parts.
Remember the you-die-and-you-restart-the-level mechanic? The pixel-perfect-platform-jump?
Gone they are!
And the world is a better place.
With Zombies. And Ninjas. And Cyborgs.
I believed most of MS money came from pre-installed windows.
MS office does not create a mess in a workplace where everyone else uses OpenOffice. But that makes OpenOffice better, not the other way around.
Define "Office Integration".
Get a mirror.
If the results are known with enough certainty, then the computer stops being an actor and becomes a passive element.
It's like saying "the gun might be jammed and not shoot this time".
“They had an idea of how the computer would change the prices but that does not make them responsible for what the computer did.”
vs
“They had an idea of how the gun would change the head of that person but that does not make them responsible for what the gun did.”

No idea. Never tried it.
Yep. Less cluttered and faster.
Because the new version saves the files on a non-backwards compatible format. Suddently you start receiving .docs that your word doesn't recognize.
You don't admit "in my office"-anecdotes after providing one yourself. Very nice.
