I would like to point to a very readable and thoughtful article - How Microsoft lost the API war. Be warned however that the article is a bit too long. Take a strong cup of Java with you. BTW: I didn\'t realize Steve Balmer could dance so well.

Office 2003 weirdness
Date: 11/12/04 (Software) Keywords: software, microsoft, google
Hi folks,
Recently with Office 2003 when I start Word and FrontPage (which I use most commonly) I get a dialog with "Installing: Microsoft Office Word feature" and "Installing: Microsoft Office FrontPage feature" respectively. The program starts after a few second once the install is complete, so the software is still working at least.
It's getting increasingly annoyed though as (a) it adds to the time to start the application (b) I'm wondering why on earth it does this.
Any ideas why it's doing this? A quick Google hasn't turned up anything that I can see.
