Yes indeed <smiloe>.
I've never relied or been tempted to use any Microsoft products much at
all, in the main they're very bulky for one thing.
I've always had trouble getting Outlook Express to work so I gave up on
that. did try Outlook 2003 at one point though it appeared to be a mess
when it came to all its functions and integrating them hence I spent a
lot more time using that software and wasting that time if that makes
any sense.
The "Live" stuff I didn't enjoy at all and thus have found replacements
for many of the "Live" utilities and functions. for example Miranda is
an excellent multi protocol chat client in much the same way as Adium
for the Mac. I can write my blogs under Windows using something called
Blogjet, not the most accessible piece of software on the planet but it
is usable.
I don't use Microsoft Office utilities as I've found substitutes for
them, Jarte Plus for Word Processing, nothing for spreadsheet design yet
and Ask Sam for database management, could also use that for Word
Processing too if i wanted.
and for email? Well i use the now tried and true Thunderbird, I use NVDA
a lot of the time so I'm insulated for the problems that users of
Window-eyes have with this software <smile>.
