I'm totally pissed off with what Microsoft has done to iView Media Pro,
Now called (after purchase by MonopolySoft) Microsoft Expression Media.

Used to be a damned good tool. Now, take a look if you want, at what
VersionTracker people say:

<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9659>

It's true what they say about QuickTime. So I browsed the manual to
find an answer. Hahahaha. Not a word written about needing Quicktime.

I went to the horse's a.s oops I mean mouth and found myself here

<http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/faq.aspx?key=media>

Now, this is an FAQ area. Their format is to quote a question and make
it a hot link to, presumably, the answer.

Well, the questions are hot links, sure enough. But the links
go...nowhere! Yes, that's right. Mouse over and the arrow turns into
the familiar hand. Click and...nothing happens!

What a bunch of jerks!

Ditto. I'm no supporter of Microsoft in general, but critisicm should be
fair. Blaming MS for problems with one's own web browser is unfair.

I think it's fair to blame Microsoft for anything at all.
