Normally I sit down and collect details for this kind of rant, but I m too enraged to do it right now. The subject is Microsoft Office and Front Page 2000. Microsoft has had a monopoly on office suites since they intentionally destroyed Word Perfect for Windows by finagling the settings on the links to the operating system so that Word Perfect crashed frequently. Word Perfect never recovered.
Office has a lot of nice functions, a fairly nice interface, and some intriguing capabilities.
You can t avoid using it because almost every office has standardized on it. Employees request it. And it does have some slick features. But it has a number of very, very large annoyances, all of which serve to profit Microsoft at the users expense. Well, an idiot.
