To the author of this article, you act like Microsoft's applications are going away completely. No, in fact, now you get a choice, so that in the event you decide to go with a competing application, you're not bloated with Microsoft's apps that you're never going to use. This comes from someone who hasn't had "Great Experiences" with apps that had been fed to me in the past, and I either had to figure out how to uninstall them or hide them behind superior third party apps. Why have it if you don't use it, and that sounds like a great strategy this time around. Microsoft is finally treating Windows like a sandbox--a clean slate--and you have a choice of what to play with. I can create my own experience. And please, don't compare Mac to Windows. Vista had its chance and clearly that wasn't what people wanted, now it's time for a different approch. Wow.
