Microsoft Office 2010: A cry for help?

,----[ Quote ]
| It's not just that Microsoft faces serious 
| competitive pressure from the likes of 
| Google, Apple, open-source developers and 
| such startup firms as Evernote. It's not 
| just that it's handcuffed itself to the 
| contradiction of selling the same 
| applications to IT professionals and to 
| home users who barely touch its features. 
| (Note: If you're an IT professional and 
| feel that my reviews slight your needs, 
| you should remember that I'm a consumer-
| technology columnist; that means that your 
| problems aren't mine unless they affect 
| what home users do on their own time.)

Computer upgrades are tough but necessary to compete

| small-business owners: "If it ain't broke, 
| don't fix it." Hey, I'm still using 
| Microsoft Office 2003!
