But the 'MS Haters' are doing the same thing. Just babbling on and on about things they don't understand. I can't count the times I hear anti Microsoft comments, and then a pro Linux comment from someone who would have *zero* chance of ever completing a Linux installation. For whatever reason the RBase community is one where 'MS distaste' runs deep. Which is ironic because without MS, RBase doesn't exist. (Go ahead and talk about RLinux, but the reality is 90% of the RBase world doesn't stand a chance with Linux.)
And another thing as long as I'm on a rant. You people whining about Windows crashing and not being robust. Could it possibly be because you are running WINDOWS 98!!!! You are operating a consumer/home product in a business environment. You don't see Starbucks brewing up pots of coffee in Gevalia freebee coffee makers do you? (I know, you hate Starbucks too.) Down with Torvalds. All your rbase are belong to MS.

You're missing the point here !!!! What I'm saying is that you don't always need a tractor trailer to go down the street to the grocery store, any old car will do. I have many clients who just want to write a simple letter, or sent e-mail, or make a list. They don't need a major league software suite to do this. If I am writing a manual, with title pages, contents, footnotes, index, etc, then of course Word or WP is the right tool (or even Star Office, for the Linux enabled). Actually, I never said MS softwre sucks, I just think there are products out there that are more in tune with what the end user needs. Not everyone is a braniac, or blindly following the MS bandwagon. BTW, nothing personal taken by your coments - this "off topic" really has taken on a few lives, hasn't it?
