Comment 418 for bug 1

ok! Thank you for your reaction! (I'm not good in monologues :-))

I agree with you both with the arguments you give - absolutely, and here's
my point now:
- Microsoft never had to convince its audience with so many care and
tactics: you see a nice example of this if you look at the difference
between office10 and office2007: an average end-user sees two different
programs, a lot of differences in look and feel and in behaviour, and I am
sure that noone of Microsoft needs to carefully convince people to start
using their new product.

What I see there is that Microsoft pushes its programs through updates in
companies, where employees have no choice of using it and then:
- after a while need to install it also at their homes because they need to
do work at home and must be compatible
- because they get illegal copies from work can only use those to install it
at home

--> I don't see this careful procedure in the Microsoft-environment: what
are we doing wrong then?
