Harold is a great help on this list.
MS tends to make everything complex that should be simple.
I wonder how simple MS's newest OS, Microsoft 7 is?
They are taking a lot of underlying code out of Vista
to make #7. Well that is another fine mess that MS has/will
get us into.
Please!
It is not only Microsoft who on occasion overcomplicates. Try the mail
merge wizard in OpenOffice.org that does nothing useful and actually
complicates the task of mail merging by sticking in an intermediate
layer which corresponds to almost no-one’s actual address
specifications. Fortunately you can mail merge excellently in
OpenOffice.org Writer without every using it. It is one of the most
worthless things I’ve seen in any application. Unfortuanately newbies
wiil assume, wrongly, that the Wizard will make things easier and will
try using it.
Try the Mule on Emacs, an attempt to use old, out-of-date code pages
instead of using Unicode; and it did a far worse job than Microsoft Word
did back when Microsoft Word was using multiple code pages.
I am tired of both Nix weenies and MS weenies who both seem to have
missed hearing about the pot calling the kettle black.
