Why is it that Microsoft have stopped making bearable versions of Office? The last okay one was 2000 (which I unfortunatly have to use having lost the disk for Open Office and it having been uninstalled by cousin messing around).
Having used XP and 2003, I am forced to say that they are crap. Hopefully Longhorn will be better -------------------- QUOTE (Peter Griffin) Math, my dear boy, is nothing more than the lesbian sister of biology. |

What's so bad about them? Personally, apart from Access and Word I don't really use them much anymore, but I can't say I have any particular objections to them.

Well, considering that they aren't that great at making an OS either and they've just as much experience at that then it's not really surprising that you don't rate their Office software. Although personally I've not had any issues with Office XP, but I hardly use anything other than Word.
Oh, Access is the devil's 'special friend' and always will be. If people haven't done it, check for Windows updates, there's a bumper pack of critical ones this month :/ -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday

Access is evil. Pure pure evil.

FreeBSD + AbiWord2 + Gnumeric + MySQL
Good non-pinhead inhabited (like Linux) OS, word processor, spreadsheet and (GUI-less) relational database combo. OpenOffice is improving but it's far too bloated and shockingly slow. http://www.freebsd.org http://www.linuxisforbitches.com http://www.abisource.com http://www.gnumeric.org http://www.mysql.org Okay, so MySQL is nothing like access but it's useful, versatile and far less restrictive, as long as you don't mind learning SQL. Just so this is relevant to Windows people I should point out that Abiword has been ported to Windows. -------------------- I am Candice's asw emo e-husband, real life actual husband and all around awesome person, Funked)Out_Frogg's e-paramour.
