if MS product is not solving their problem, I don't think anybody is going to buy
There was this instance of M$ Power Point hiding/obfuscating serious problems in the NASA Space Shuttle foam-tile mishap! Instead of solving and fixing serious problems, these M$ products have added up issues and created mishaps of the worst kind. :(
I am not an MS fan. But this kind of arguments isn't really meaningful at all. There was a lapse, and it has got to be accepted as such by whoever was responsible. One cannot put the blame on a presentation tool for the accident.
I still don't agree that anybody is forced to buy MS products. One might have been forced to pay up for using an illegally obtained copy of MS product.
BTW, you don't have to slug slime at proprietary software to make free software look better. I always prefer positive advocacy.
