Add/Remove Programs doesn't entirely get rid of MS Office...besides, MS Office is just an extension of MS Internet Explorer's framework...

Incredible how many people like this virus: more than 75% of the market does. It's a shame you can't just remove your ignorance and bias with Add/Remove Programs. Oh well, at least we can always have a laugh. :)

No, it's part of Microsoft's world domination Master Plan

Or you could install MS Office 2007 (which is not affected by any of these bugs). Works in PC and Mac, just not in Linux, but who uses Linux anyway, lol? (less than 1% of the market)
