Microsoft's Office monopoly is being driven by companies -
demanding that every other company be compatible with the latest Microsoft Office upgrade that they just saddled themselves with.

It's expensive the first time. It's damnably expensive the second time; and all Microsoft has to do to start it all over again is come out with another "upgrade". A billion here, a billion there - why can't we all agree to act together, and just get off Microsoft's Office treadmill.
