It still occurs in a fresh install of Windows 98/2000/XP and a fresh install
of Office 2000 and then it still happened in Office 2002. So Norton's
wasn't at fault because it wasn't there yet! There wouldn't be any add-ins
yet!
Have to recreate a mail profile? Yep, it's Microsoft's fault that it got
screwed up because they didn't use robust code. Have to edit the security
permissions on a registry key so you don't get repeatedly prompted for a
username and password that used to work? Well, gee, who's fault might that
be again?
If it ain't broke, why are you fixing anything?
