Apple has one. So does the Java community, Oracle, IBM, and Google. Lord knows anyone who uses Linux or free and open source software is dedicated to spreading the gospel of St. Linus Torvalds and St. Richard Stallman. But does anyone really worship the Gods of Redmond?

Microsoft is what you end up with, if you don't choose anything else, it's too big to have fanatical supporters, it's like a Ford car, it gets you to and from work, and the parts are readily available.

It's like the Vauxhall Vectra, which was so boring that Clarkson talked about his holiday instead.

My current system dragged me to MS Worksuite, but I really must get round to putting Smartsuite (Lotus/IBM) on it, or make the move to openoffice.

De facto standards have to be kicked back against, it's just the way it is.
