If one needs to get a serious hold on Microsoft, then what is most needed
is to reach out to the kids. I say this today because, every kid today
grows up neck deep in windows. (to the point where he actually believes

Windows at school, he finds it "...clumsy, clunky and crummy. Window
sucks, Dad".
