Is anybody else disgusted about the piece of junk called Microsoft

I think Lee is absolutely right to be annoyed. I have just pain nearly £100
(over $200) for the Home and Student version of office 2007 and its
installation resulted in my OE spell checker now being French. You only need
to look at the number of complaints about this on this site to know that
there has been a "cock-up". Microsoft should make sure that their various
products are compatible or at least warn of problems before people such as I
commit serious expenditure (I am a pensioner). Given that Microsoft are not
interested, can anyone recommend another spell checker which will work with
OE and not cause even more problems when installed?

Thanks for your very polite and helpful input, Herb. I have not deployed
Vista yet because of the unavailability of drivers for so many things. The
Upgrade Analyser is another joke. It leads one to believe that his or her
system is all ready for Vista, then in the area of drivers and compatibility
of other software, it makes some vague references to checking with the
vendors. I find that very misleading, to say the least. I understand that
Bill Gates has been pleading with the third party vendors to upgrade their
drivers and non-compatible programs. That is a good start but I have been
waiting until the Vista OS is really supported by most third party vendors
before putting my systems into a tizzy. I also run three systems here at
home and I build new systems for clients. My experiences with XP, when it
was brand new, have made me more than a little reluctant to step out of the
pot into the kettle with Vista, although I would enjoy some of the new
features.. LOL Have a nice day.
