Just Say No to Microsoft is the title of a new book by Tony Bove. (The subtitle is “How to Ditch Microsoft and Why It’s Not as Hard as You Think”.) Brian Burnham has written a sympathetic review. Excerpt:
The book delivers background on the history of Microsoft, Apple and Linux (including the Open Source movement) that may not be free of bias, but is sure fun to read. The bulk of the book, however, is dedicated to pointing out the many, many flaws (the book is 260+ pages) in Microsoft software. There are things you would have never thought about that Bove covers here, like forgotten details lurking in your Word document. From safety concerns to possibly the worlds longest living bug - the book walks you through the evil truth embedded in every aspect of Windows, Office and Media Player.
