I s'pose MSW users can't do anything as useful as pipe an invite into a calendar feeder program. Instead, MS Outlook automatically ingests and

While Joe may not have stated his points very diplomatically, they were
about the relative technical merits of the MS platform. He didn't say
anyone was a moron, except perhaps by implication, and he didn't tell
you not to use MS. He stated /why/ he doesn't like MS, which is exactly
what I hear you both asking for. So why this digression? I've yet to
hear anyone say Joe's points are incorrect.


Because most people don't want to **** around with external programs, they want it to Just Work.
