I, also find that there is no other alternative to using Microsoft, because the way they monopolise everything. <br>Personally, I find Microsoft a decent program, but it's got many, many flaws. Lot's of these flaws are there, not because the programming is crap, but because of the way Microsoft persuades you to buy their top-of-the-line junk. They purposely put stuff in their basic programming that forces you to upgrade to have something somewhat adequate.<p>For example: word pad. Microsoft's Windows program comes with a virtually useless word processor (if you need to do something that looks professional, like a resume or report). The price of an adequate word processor: 200-300 dollars.<p>I don't like Microsoft. They play dirty. Recently, there was some monopolization charges towards Microsoft. But due to the fact that everyone, including schools, buys from Microsoft, we have little alternative.
