I believe that sort of stupidity/corporate arrogance would mean their
position of power would have been eroded long ago.
(Yeah, and I've sat in MORE than one meeting where Greg has told softies a
thing or two about how to improve their stuff<lol>...and most TRY to tell
him he's mistaken...big mistake, oh, VERY big mistake! He then proceeds to
points out several EXACT facts that they didn't consider and suddenly lots
of folks are taking notes in the back of the room!<rofl> Never argue with a
guy who remembers everything he's ever read!<hee, hee>)

I'd argue only this far: you are not *not* considered.
There are several camps of people with differing needs and uses whose
considerations drive the development of the product. Many customers *did*
ask for autocorrect and continue to use it. Personally, I've typed many
fewer documents containing the non-word 'teh' (Heh, Outlook is keeping me
from typing it even now!<g>).
Regarding the Bulkers of the world; Notice MS has effectively launched a
small war against this faction with a recently filed lawsuit.
While I would like to see MS change several things about their products and
way of doing business, I do recognize that the computer industry itself is
still much too predatory for the kind of changes I'd like to see there. But
I will argue with anyone who feels this monster of a company could get to
this position without attempting to digest feedback from all directions. I
believe that sort of stupidity/corporate arrogance would mean their position
of power would have been eroded long ago.
