Office Bloated 2007
Well obviously what will a home user do with InfoPath, Groove? And does he really really need Access and Publisher? Maybe if MS creates an InfoPath runtime/reader then some SOHOs may find it of *some* use. Groove is only useful in an enterprise. Most users don't need a database even of the simplest form to store their info. And Publisher is the underdog of the whole suite, still uses a proprietary file format and doesn't even have a reader/viewer app. The only things of use are Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote. Some can even do away with OneNote bcoz of Notepad and not everyone needs to give presentations or data analysis and calculations.
