I've been dealing with Microsoft for most of the last ten years. What do I
think of Micorsoft support? "That's a nice idea."

The only Microsoft product I ever used that I couldn't find bugs in (all
non-trivial programs have bugs; the question is whether they interfere
with your work) was the original Microsoft Basic (Mbasic 4.xx or some
such). As for the rest of the bugs, the best response I got was "that's not
a bug." No, they didn't say it was a feature. They also didn't think that
it should be documented. Probably because it revealed truly awfull things
about the workings of that product to the knowledgable.

I have, as much as possible, disassociated myself from MicroShaft products
for the last three years. It's possible that their attitudes have changed,
but this discussion makes it look like they haven't.
