I made the mistake of installing the trial version of Office 2010 atop my
solid 2007 installation. DO NOT DO THIS! If you want to test out this
stuff, do so inside a VM and leave your native installation clean and free
of the brown-shirt preferences of MS; otherwise suffer numerous reboots to
try and return to where you were previous to said installation. Microsoft,
you suck! I wasted over three hours today attempting to recover from your
inanities. NEVER AGAIN! From now on, every new MS software I install shall
be inside a VM that I can blow away in an instant! Thanks for wasting my
Sunday, MS! Thanks, thanks, thanks! If only I could bill you for time
wasted! Maybe the best response is a class-action suit, and that has
possibilities!

I'm back to my plan of a month or two back:

1. Never install any version of Windows as the native boot.
2. Install Ubuntu as the native boot, and then install a VM manager (mine
happens to be Oracle's VirtualBox).
3. Install every instance of various Windows versions as VMs that I can
blow away whenever I wish.

I've had it with MS and its rapacious claims on my box. Fork this! From now
on, MS, you are destined to be a VM on my boxes, so I can instantly nuke
your bad plays. Consider yourself a baseball player this team has decided
to trade. See ya!
