Microsoft Office is too dangerous to leave with users
-----------------------------------------------------
"Paul DeGroot from Directions on Microsoft was recently quoted by CNet
saying a very scary thing about MS-Office: "The chances you are going
to switch out are pretty well nil. You have way too much money
invested."

It may not be politically correct to say so, but the leopard cannot
change his spots, nor the Ethiopian his skin. Paul's comment came after
a conference at which Microsoft claimed one million developers were
basing applications on MS-Office 2003, and a quick glance at
Microsoft's historical spots makes it obvious that this is just another
lock-in-and-squeeze cycle. MS-Office has traditionally come down in
price until competition effectively ended, and then increased again. At
the end of the last such cycle the price more than doubled."
