And I forget to mention that Micros..t products are also ALMOST the only
ones hit by viruses and suchlike. This why I use Word and Excel only to
read/edit incoming files, with strict protection, and I NEVER use
Outlook in any flavour. Of course, the virus authors go for the biggest
market where they can cause the most harm, but they also go for the
software with the most security flaws which, by sheer coincidence, of
course, happens to come form this same producer.
