So why did you ever imagine all that white space was a good idea? Reducing each line to around four words just makes for a very irritating reading experience. You say you're now listening but all available indicators are contrary to that - but - more to the point, it would only have taken 10 seconds thought to recognise that the whole orientation of the beta was completely misguided and accordingly would be instantly rejected - it is an absolute mystery why you started down this path and seems so intent on pursuing it even though it's so obviously a huge mistake.

soooo much wishing and dreaming is almost touching. Like it or not, deserved or undeserved, Microsoft products are 'it' for the vast majority of users and that's not going to change anytime soon for the simple reason that there are no 'viable' alternatives. Before the howls commence, let me clarify what I mean by viable. Windows installs and runs at least well enough on a vast array of hardware configurations. Wizards do their job satisfactorily in terms of installing/finding drivers, and generally setting up the system - pretty hard to say the same about Linux with a straight face. Similarly microsoft products like the Office suite are easily good enough for almost everything the average home/office user needs. Sure Wordperfect had some great features that Word has never come close to matching (ah how sweet is the reveal codes function) and sure Word has some really irritating quirks but lets get real, Open office os a very long way from being in the same league as Microsoft Office. I work in government and cash strapped IT departments would love nothing more than being able to ditch the never ending expense of the unholy marriage that is dependency on Microsoft but it just can't happen. The alternatives are simply not there to switch to without taking a functionality hit that is too great to be seriously contemplated. I wish it wasn't so, really I do but at least for now I can't see moving away from mac hardware running windows with flyakite software giving a mac'ish sheen to the windows apps I depend upon.
