Hmm. . . .  Vapid, bland, evasive, fatuous, and perhaps even misleading,
yes. But factually untrue, no.

Incidentally, I find Scott Hughes' message unintentionally depressing.
Recent Microsoft arrogance (which I don't need to summarize here) has
increased my desire to escape that company. But if even a Red Hat
employee is forced to keep using a 'doze machine (or system) because of
all the other people who pester him with 'doze-specific files, I'm sure
I will be too, and for the same reason. (My institution is inseperably
wedded to Office, and I routinely receive Word [ughh!] and Excel files.)
