I don't have the typical nerd-rage against Microsoft, but I'm glad to see computing discussed in such a mainstream forum (in a way that is not completely banal, such as a news anchor reading Twitters).

Hey, as long as Excel provides the graphs and calculations for my physics labs... good on Bill Gates.

Yet Excel is good. You haven't lived til you've nested some IF functions. Anyway what is he proposing to jazz up the world of spreadsheets?

Besides Windows 7 is pretty good now and at last provides a decent baseline from which to make further progress.

I believe Excel has always had coloring options Stephen! Only they are not always utilized for the same reason you don't find rainbow colored hammers and wrenches in a workshop.

(maybe if you work for Apple)

This.

It's a fucking spreadsheet, not a scrapbook project.

Doesn't sound like he's commenting as much on Windows and Excel as just computers in general.

If you were to work day to day in a cubicle using a spreadsheet program on a Mac or Linux computer, would that make it less gray and boring? Methinks not.

It really puts me off people when they pretend that their version of a machine that goes 'bing' is better than everyone elses. get over yourself it just goes 'bing'. It's not sucking your goddamned cock...yet.

I thought Microsoft tried to make its MS office suite more friendly, as Stephen was complaining about, but ended up creating something even more demonic called Clippy.

Honestly? At this point in time, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a USB-cocksucker available on the Japanese market. And to run the exquisite pleasuring program - variety instead of plain sucking -, you'd need drivers only available for Windows based systems. If you run Unix, you wouldn't be able to properly mount the device anyway.
