So, one of the great things about HTML (one of the few great things about HTML :) is that it is almost universally accessible across platforms. Now if only Microsoft practiced what they preached, and used HTML for their documents, maybe I would be able to see their marketing junk :). As it is, they are surely not going to convert me if they won't put their documents online in a format where I can read them. Perhaps it is just as well, from having read a few of the other responses :). They are saving themselves from having me laugh at them when relating their story to friends :).
