VistA-Office - just two caps in a row with one of those really pain in the neck hyphens that I have to look at the keyboard to find. Makes VistA alone much more attractive, but personally I have learned to like that terminal A as there are a bizillion Vistas out there as the names of lots of things, but only on VistA.
So I have already embraced VistA, and now Microsoft's move makes me truly enamored with it.
