Why I Hate Microsoft, Part Infinity Plus Two
When I bought my new computer, I purchased the Microsoft Office 2004 software simultaneously. I loaded it, and duly filled out all the forms and numbers to register it online, and I even got a confirming e-mail thanking me for my MSpurchase and MSregistration. So you can imagine my annoyance when every time I use Word, I am informed that this is a 30 day "Test Drive" and that I have some number of days (now 23) to use it before I must purchase it, which of course I already did. Not just once in a while, but every time I open Word, periodically while I use it, and every time I close it, I get a box that informs me this is only a "Test Drive," puts a "MS Test Drive" watermark on my document as I am working with it, and gives me three options: "Buy Now," "Learn More," and "Remind Me Later." Egregiously missing are at least two options that desperately need to be added: "I Already Bought And Registered Your Lousy Software, You Idiots" and "Stop Harassing Me You Rapacious MSNincompoops."
