Wished I could just say no to the Microsoft Jugglerknot. However, managing and supporting it pays my bills.

Have a friend that once worked at Apple.
His job title was Internet Evangelist.
He was responsible for Microsoft writing Internet Explorer for the Mac back when there was only Netscape. It was a test.

Microsoft had been writing Mac versions of Word and Excel on the Mac. They had switched to porting the Windows version to the Mac. The Windows version of Word, was not nearly as good as the Mac version and they were losing market share.

He proposed to Microsoft that they write Explorer for Mac on the Mac.
Microsoft did, and it was hugely successful.
Because of that success they created the Mac Business Unit and went back to writing the Mac versions of Office on Macs instead of porting the Windows version to Mac.

You would think that this guy would like at least the Mac software from Microsoft. But, to this day that friend refuses to use ANY Microsoft Software or Products. Says it is a matter of Principle.
