Not to mention the MO3 scam.

I know I would have been asked to leave the store after describing the possible implementation of this MO3 ah...virus/trojan on Office 2003.
Just think. This guy will have a program suite that can not talk to other previous versions of the same suite of programs, let alone, no conversion to 3rd party ware.
Snail Mail:
Dear family, friends & associates.
Please purchase Office 2003 so that I may send you my documents that I have created with Office 2003.
PS: Please co-ordinate your O/S to match mine. I am running the new and greatly improved, Windows Longhorn. I am unable to send you E-mail until you change from your 3rd party E-mail client to any one of the offered Microsoft products for the exchange of electronic mail VIA the Internet.
PPS: Contact Microsoft for your new personal I.D. that you will have to use to make any kind of purchase VIA your ATM or Credit card. It's an easy to do process. Just submit your real name and the automated teller will give you your new name. This name will have the given prefix, "Bill" followed by a number. This is voluntary at present but within 6 months will be mandatory and will be illegal to conduct yourself socially or in business without your Microsoft "Bill" I.D.
Hope to be able to hear from you soon,
Signed, MOOooooo....
Cheers!
