They don't care about my business, either.

Pretty much because they don't have to. It's nearly impossible to go without Microsoft product. They know they can do just about anything they want. At least I don't have Hotmail. Unfortunately, Yahoo isn't a whole lot better.

well, i think they do care about your business.....in as much as they can collect demographics, etc.....but you're right, they don't care about YOU.....personally

i use some MS products, basically, the Office suite....they have become standards in the world....(in this day, most users don't know what vis-i-calc is or was)

fastmail *is* a whole lot better. As is softhome. There *are* alternatives to the big guys.
