How Microsoft Conspires To Anger Paying Office Customers
,----[ Quote ]
| My main reason for writing this post is that
| Microsoft has managed to conjure up a scenario
| for new Windows 7 users which makes Outlook all
| but unusable for Office 2003 users, and which
| can only be fixed with a bizarre combination of
| freeware tools, including a Linux boot CD. I
| spent an inordinate amount of time over the
| weekend trying to fix the problem on a friendâs
| new Acer notebook, so I figure itâs worth
| sharing.
|
| [...]
|
| Fixing the problem is one thing, but the
| question of why Microsoft wants to force people
| with perfectly valid software to go through
| ridiculous hoops on a brand-new system remains.
| The cynical reaction is to assume that Microsoft
| would rather you purchased an Office 2007
| upgrade, so the company doesnât care if it
| wrecks your existing Outlook 2003 install. After
| all, youâve already paid for a new copy of
| Windows 7 (and a new PC) in this case.
