OT: Corporate America Rant

[Dan Lund]

The only complaint I have about it is that it doesn't display some
excel files with macros correctly, and if you get really creative with
formatting it fubars it.
Overall I agree.
I almost had a linux desktop rollout going at the company I worked
for, until there was a paradigm shift and we had to think outside the
box in order to break the mold.
Now we're rightsizing :)
