It beggars belief that Microsoft continues to make ever increasing mistakes in their software.  Why do we need to wait 10 minutes for Windows to load only to face ever more puzzling menus in Excel, Word etc. and to face ever more bizarre Outlook menus.  And today I see that the new format of Outlook is not (seemingly) compatible with Microsoft Word attachments.  Seriously?  The amount of R&D Microsoft spends and you end up with this?

Apple focuses its products on what the consumer needs.  Microsoft seems to aim to please IT geeks who revel in designing complex programmes.  I have just had Office 2010 installed - and immediately it crashes Word when I select a font change or crashes Excel when I do the same.  People use Apple because the want to but use Office because they have to (corporate policy).

Right, I will go for a long coffee break while I reboot Windows....
