The Evil Empire

I know most of you have heard me say this time and time again, but now it is out there for Bill G. to read too. I HATE MICROSOFT. I have just spent the last 30 minutes trying to book a room for a recurring meeting through 2008. Stupid Outlook wouldn't let me do it because 2 instances had conflicting meetings.

Did Outlook tell me what the conflicts were? No.
Did Outlook book the conference room for the other days? Of course not.

I had to go through every Thursday on my calendar, until I got far enough out to book a recurring meeting. And seriously, this is a weekly meeting, and I found only 2 conflicts between now and April. Yet, still it wouldn't let me start my recurring meeting until August.

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I just don't understand how Microsoft got so much power. If they make a UI change, suddenly all other applications have to make the same change.

I say we take a stand and say NO! We won't be pushed around anymore.

(Just think how much complaining I am going to do when I am *forced* to upgrade to Vista. Everyone better stay away from me for a month.)

Sometimes I wonder if Gates uses an Mac... that would explain why he doesn't see the trash that his company creates.

Ha! I never thought of that. I like that reasoning!
