Well, it _is_ Microsoft we are talking about. But what upset ME more than producing their files in their own format is this:
(03_9905.doc)/9: Internal system modification capabilities are not accessible to end users:
.... upgrade capabilities for RAM and CPU are not end-user accessible.
Now THIS would piss me off to no extent. I'm one of those users that does everything himself (I built my 'puter, I built my linux system) and now they want to take away my capabilities to upgrade my own RAM and CPU??? Ha!! Never, I'd sooner port Linux to an abacus.
