What still dumfounds me:-

What still dumfounds me is that the major inertia preventing a general migration away from Microsoft is corporate unwillingness to stop using the worst word processor on the market because of the fear of the learning curve involved in the change. In fact the ease of use of say open office would pay back so quickly that people would look back in astonishment at word's quirkiness.

I wish I could say that the open office spread sheet was as good as Excel (it is getting there, and using it instead would be a small price to pay for the other advantages of open source). However the thing which Excel does do is demonstrate just how bad word is: the GUI and functionality of the drawing package is identical but the implementation in Excel works whereas in word it starts to fall over as soon as the drawing gets moderately complex.
