Linda and Anne,
I agree whole-heartedly. I find it ridiculous that M$ upgrades all the
applications enough so that the format is slightly different and only makes
major changes to one application and then expects you to shell out the big
money for the who suite since they don't play so nicely with older versions.
Why can't a Word doc created in 2000 be opened in 97? Were there that many
changes? Why not just warn the user some features may not be available? We
aren't a huge organization but having to shell out for 70+ copies of the
suite is a huge blow to the bottom line. Then you throw in the soft costs
of all the updates required on the new suite because they couldn't get it
right BEFORE releasing it. (Why doesn't M$ higher a few hackers to try to
break the code and discover at least some of these security holes before
they release a version of an OS or Office suite?)
Sorry for the rant, I just can't see spending all the money for improvements
in an application I don't use.
James

Here, Here, Anne...I totally agree!! As a small company of one employee
(little ol' me), who HAS to stay current with all the latest versions, I
completely agree that it's about time Microsoft recognized those of us who
have been buying every version of everything they have!!
