The question to ask is: What have you done to help prevent it?  Relying 
on Scott, or anyone else in the industry is not enough.  I'm trying my 
best to remove Microsoft from my life, I just need to find a better 
browser for OS X than IE.

No longer will I accept MS Office attachments.

I do this, not out of some desire to be a religious nut, but to avoid 
what I see as a severe threat to the quality and viability of the 
computer industry.  It's a shame, too, as there are good folks at MS as 
well as bad - their Mac division is a good bunch.
