Do you not like Microsoft then Robin?

....What on earth gave you that idea? :wink:
I don't like Bill Gates and Windows 7 is their first interface which I can muster an iota of respect for. Funny how it reminds me of Mac OS X.

I'm not sure anyone can completely remove Microsoft from their life.

....I can't think of a single Microsoft product installed and used on my Macs. I've been very particular about it.

Maybe not on your Mac, but it is nigh on impossible to avoid them full stop and if there's something that does a job perfectly ok, then why do so?
Don't get me wrong, I love Macs and I have one but Windows is both useful and irreplaceable in its own right. Jobs is as much of a tool as Gates too....

But I bet you use the Internet, and cash machines and so on... You might not have any MS software installed on your Macs, but you haven't removed it from your life.
I have Mac Office on my primary Mac as it is massively useful for me to be able to view Excel and Powerpoint files on it without having to fire up a PC or run a virtual Windows session on the Mac. Works just fine by the way.

....I did write "installed and used on my Macs".
I have no need to use Excel etc or Office and I use Adobe InDesign instead.

....I did write "I don't take any notice of what Steve Jobs etc says". Doesn't anyone bother to read my posts?
There happens to be no place nor need for Windows in my life :smiley:

Agreed, but Tony did say "I'm not sure anyone can completely remove Microsoft from their life" and given that you view documents created with Microsoft software on your Mac you clearly have not achieved that...
Pedant? Moi? :happy2:
As for Adobe products on a Mac, you might not even have that luxury for much longer given the huge, unnecessary fight Steve Jobs has got into with Adobe regarding Flash.
