.."The majority of...". "Live with it".
Gordon, to be honest you sound like a Microsoft employee"!
You can rationalise these things all you like. Like any other business, it
isn't Microsoft's business to tell the customer what it wants, but to find
out what the customer wants and supply it. That's simply principles of good
business. But then, Microsoft isn't like "any other company" is it?
So the majority of Outlook users are in the corporate sector, eh? You could
well be right and that may only leave a cuppla hundred million who use it in
small business offices or for personal use, and geez, they have probably only
paid a mere $300 or $400 each for Office 2007. So why bother, when you're as
big as Microsoft, putting in a few man-hours in programming just to cater for
only a mere cuppla-hundred million, eh (nod-nod, wink-wink say no more)?.
"...and the GAL etc etc are all backed up daily from the server"
No need for THAT sort of talk in here. *LOL* Sorry... but we gotta loosen
up just a little here.
