So what should the behaviour be when I drop a file onto the Word button on
the taskbar ?
Should it open the file in a new window ?
Should it insert the contents of the file in the currently open document ?
At the beginning or at the current cursor position ?
Should it link to the file being dropped ? At the beginning or at the
current cursor position ?

I work with enterprise and carrier network people, all the time, and
I've seen the whole PC revolution and the Internet and Microsoft sweep
through corporate technology. And I'd have to say that 'sfcybear' has
pointed out a fundamental problem of truly outrageous proportion, in
fact.
ALL network technology today, it seems, is developed with this entirely
false and unbelievable notion that 'everything is clean'. Its cost
every major corporation millions of dollars to deal with this, and they
still can't come to grips with it. It doesn't matter if its LAN or WAN
connections or campus backbones, routing systems or firewalls or VPN,
clients or servers or protocols or data description specs. A real-world
implementation of any of the newest versions of these is inherently less
able to take advantage of interoperability with heterogenous systems
through non-deterministic or unspecified mechanisms.
The few technologies we use (and abuse) routinely and productively are
all successful because they are entirely blind to whatever else is going
on, without being ignorant of the fact that there is always something
else going on.
I think the examples are so ubiquitous (name a common failure) that its
tough to illustrate what I mean, but consider these types of problems:
An intermediate system (proxy, firewall, switch) which was configured to
handle loading or caching based on a presumption of traffic patterns,
such presumptions being idealistic.
A host system which is presumed to be a single 'destination' is actually
a server for some things, a forwarding system for others, and a
transparent proxy for still more.
A WAN topology based on fantasies and confusion; a large and successful
(?) businesses which doesn't have a clue what their 'links' actually
are, how they work, or how much bandwidth they have, because of
confounding descriptions of frame relay and VPNs and carrier clouds;
they saturated their backbone with Internet traffic, or blamed the WAN
for a bottleneck on their campus ring...
I'm not sure if my point came through in all those examples, but it
underlies the reason most such bad decisions (to set it up like that or
make presumptions of what its doing) based on an assumption that real
world networks are 'clean' designs.
The truth is, you never know how many or what kind of devices are in a
network, and you should never have to care. (Until one breaks; the
technicians, not the sysAdmins or users, need to know which link is
which and how they work.) But this is inconvenient for system
implementers. Its so much more efficient to assume that there is one
transmission channel per subnet, and one link per site, and one server
per host, and one application per computer, and all. But in the real
world, it doesn't work like that, no.

I've never met an unbiased person in my life. I'm willing to believe such
people exist, but I feel quite confident in stating that if they did, they
wouldn't be partaking in a public debating forum.

I see no reason to believe Roberto is any more or less unbiased than anyone
else. I'd be leaning towards the "less" end of the scale at this point.

Amazingly, you have yet to expose any of these "arguments from ignorance".
That you consistently misunderstand my position, does not make my argument
one from ignorance.

I remember what you mean, but I grew out of it. I can't see how
'everyone' could possibly be 'extraordinarily' selfish. Everyone is
ordinarily selfish. Whether or not someone's going to verbally deny it
is not the question. You take their inability to want to self-analyze
themselves critically (which is over-rated, BTW, you shouldn't over-do
it like you do) to seriously; the amount of selfishness you are
attributing to them beyond the amount they recognize themselves is quite
possibly just your lack of understanding of the human condition.
To eat is to be selfish, according to your definition.

Could certainly? Which is it? 'Certainly' goes with "would", not
"could". I don't have to be Mother Theresa to be ethical. In fact, I
know very well that Mother Theresa both was and was not more unethical
than I am. Just because I don't run a soup-kitchen doesn't make me
selfish.

No, I mean realistic. You seem to think that the choices are either

If you believe that is so then I doubt we can talk about it. I think
'reasonable' is a self-evident concept; to recognize it is to understand
it.
You don't have to call me 'Mr. Devlin', BTW; 'Max' is fine. Just so
you'll know I noticed, 'Courageous'. Call me Max. Not that I mind

Well, see, now we get down to the definitions. If you consider charity
to be a luxury, and you consider what you described charity, then you
are extraordinarily selfish. I wouldn't call that charity, that's
social responsibility.

They were convicted of monopolizing because they have a monopoly in PC
OSes. Strictly speaking, they were convicted of maintaining monopoly
power by anticompetitive means. Since the crux of our discussion is
over whether any other means can legally maintain (or, alternatively,
acquire) monopoly power, you may find that reading inconclusive.
"the Court concludes that Microsoft maintained its monopoly power by
anticompetitive means and attempted to monopolize the Web browser
market, both in violation of § 2."

You use it and in your own way, support it. If you really hate it as much
as you claim, take a page from the Apple advocacy book and quit the job that
requires you to use Windows and put "Sorry, I will not use Microsoft
products because I disagree with their business practices." at the top of
your resume. I corresponded with a Mac advocate for some time that used
this approach. Figure out a way to pay the bills while you find a
like-minded employer and you will be set! Until you do this you are
supporting Microsoft.

If you were really adamant about standing up for your beliefs you wouldn't
use Microsoft products. You would find any way not to just to further the
cause.

I'd have to agree with your statement, but I'd have to disagree with
your opinion about who's getting a free ride and steering the ship. The
60% of Americans who contribute 10% of the tax revenue are on the middle
decks, and while many are looking to climb to the luxury
bridge-with-open-bar, a much larger number are considering their
inevitable move to steerage.
