Warning: MS flame!

Has anyone noticed what happens if you use PopIt! 1.72 with MS Word 4.0?

Try it some time, but make sure not to have any unsaved work around!
(answer: screwed up (inaccessible) menu bar and crash and burn time)

MS response:  ~"We can't go around and make sure that our menus are compatible
with everybody else's utility software, you know.  Are you sure that the
author of PopIt! is in compliance with IM?"

Given history (and the fact that I have yet to see any incompatibilities
between PopIt and other people's software), any guesses as to who's in
compliance, and who's not?
