I first realised MS were fsked when...
...I attended a MS Tech Briefing on SharePoint Services. After the main presentation, the MVP showed us what we were to look forward to in the next version of Office: The Ribbon. The application was Excel and the MVP explained we would be much happier with The Ribbon and not have to use menus. So I asked "how do I split a window if I cant't select Window, Split window from a menu?". After farting around for several minutes and becoming very red in the face the MVP said we probably didn't need to split windows any more so it was a feature that had been dropped. I can't for the life of me recall if he said it was "for your convenience", but there you go. I'm an old fart who couldn't imagine using a spreadsheet where I couldn't split the window.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
