I was outfitting some new systems at a client lately when I saw something odd. The secretary was busy filling out a directory for the boss. A directory created in Word. When I asked why it was done this way, I received that age old “it’s always…..”.

I’ve said it before here, that Microsoft should just leave the EU. They won’t be happy until Microsoft’s competitiveness is gone, and some half baked software company is out peddling alpha-ware to businesses. Not that Microsoft is clean in that aspect. Vista is proving that!

All the hype about Google and Uncle Sam entering the center ring has me about filled up. This fight has hurt Google’s market share, and some other technology companies in the process.
