I am growing more nauseous with each message I read in this thread. These
M$ apps are so crash-prone it isn't even funny. Running them on linux is
like running away from a terrible marriage only to keep having three-night
trysts every week with her. :-)

At least under linux you can guarantee that the app-fault-of-the-hour won't
happen to spread to the OS core and bomb the whole machine, the way it will
with one in ten odds on M$ 'doze. You won't get that annoying "This program
has performed an illegal operation..." dialog either; the windows will just
disappear out from under you, and you'll find in the console or in
.xsession-errors the explanation of what happened. :-)
