Excel has more glitches and "features"

It has overintutive, undocumented behavior 9check entering
data differences directly in a cell and in enter line below menu -
make sure that you copy-paste from other MS application of the
same text and see what happens).

In addition to that nobody so far managed the dumb collab
oration conflict between Microsoft Virtual Desktop Management
and Excel, Powerpoint. Access and probably other office
applications (except Word) that after switching once to another
desktop ALL of those applications lose their menu and action
buttons below menu.

That is a collaboration by Microsoft. Now I am not going to
report this bug to MS. Why? Why should I be charged for issue
that they should be thankful that someone noticed and reported
- not charge?

I prefer switching to Mac (I write it from my new Intel Core Duo
Mac mini) or even Linux. As far as office suite I prefer
OpenOffice that I have been working with since it was old
StarOffice 5.0.

Unfortunatelly not everybody has influence on wisdom of
employers who choose "cost efficiency" by gooing with Microsoft
while at the same time they decide to put 90% of corporation on
Java solutions and Open Source frameworks. Not for the
productivity suite though, MS-Office seems to be too compelling
I guess. I have fun of those certified MS engineers who scratch
their head and do not know how to resolve such quirks. I like
bothering them and hope that number of opened and non-
resolved tickets will get to some smarter CIO's (unfortunatelly
there is big buffer of dumb middle managers between many of
users and CIO's).
