I suggest that you reconsider the source of the
problem.  Microsoft is just supplying what the
people think they want.  It's the stupid users
making them rich.  (I'm tempted to draw an
analogy to attacking the source of illegal
drugs, but I'll resist.)

It's already gone in many areas.  Perhaps most
importantly, Krannert.  It's no wonder that
business majors get out in the Real World with
this "Gee, I use MS Word for everything.  My
whole company should!" attitude.  (See numerous
news:comp.text.frame posts about this one.)
