Sneak has only just got used to the idea that Windows XP is headed for the short, steep and slippery slope to software oblivion, but apparently Microsoft is not finished throwing out stuff. Waiting for a Tube train this morning, Sneak was confronted by a large advertisement for Microsoft Office 2007, bearing the slogan, “Forget about yesterday. It’s a whole new day.” This is a bit of a questionable sentiment: Sneak for one would quite like any and all documents carefully prepared yesterday to still be available today, whether or not Microsoft’s software can be bothered to remember where it left them.
