Why I Don't Like Microsoft
MicrosoftRecently I switched from Mozilla Thunderbird to Outlook 2003. The reason for this drastic change was that I have a HP iPaq that works great with Outlook. I can sync calendars, emails, contacts, everything; I know, a silly reason to switch. Then I remembered why I was using Thunderbird in the first place, the following (very important) file extentions are automatically blocked by Outlook and unless you're running an Exchange server there is nothing you can do about it!
csh, ksh - Unix C shell and Korn shell scripts - I didn't even know these ran natively under windows!
mad, maf, mag, mam, maq, mar, mas, mat, mau, mav, maw, mda, mdb, mde, mdt, mdw, mdz - Everything MS Access! - This is just ridiculous - how can any company that purchases Microsoft Office but can't yet afford enterprise Exchange server work like this!
The thing that really gets me though is that there is no way around any of this. Microsoft took it upon themselves to forcably dictate what you can and can not do.
