Eric:

As my grandpappy would've said, "Don't eat that Henry,
it's horeshite!"

1. Firefox  taking the web by storm? What's it's
useage penetration (and do not confuse Download stats
with useage... I've downloaded Firefox and deleted it
a couple of times already (as the "world" heralds its
impovements and it does nothing better for me)?

2. Using a sample of one, namely your experience
(usually more like an ill-formed opinion) is rsiky
research protocol. simply because you do not require
(or simply do not know how to use them to their full
strengths) does not mean that stands for the rest of
the entire user community. I for one love the MS
Office integrated suite:  for me, it's best feature is
the "smart" clipboard function that allows me to
cut-and paste data into any of the applications
without having to touch or jiggle it arround. One of
my clients loves to use voice annotations on work I
send so that he doesn't have to learn anything and can
simply dictate his ammendments. And there are of
coursxe many more features that intregrated
appplications bring to the business enivronment.

Your "argument" has just been proven not to hold
water, simply because I for one disagree with it! Come
back to the table when you can PROVE your claims with
facts and figures!
