Microsoft’s home page seems to be going “all cool”.

I ended up at Microsoft’s homepage today and was greeted by a far more colourful affair than ever before - are they trying to do an Apple on their homepage or something? There’s no more “3 ways to ensure your system is protected (1) Stop downloading p0rn, 2) stop using P2P networks and 3) buy one or all of these firewall products because the OS you’re using is defenseless).

Oh, the reason I was at microsoft’s page? I was looking for something that could remove a lot document metadata that Microsoft Word insists in retaining. I discovered a document that I was about to send to a customer contained revision histories from several earlier unrelated projects - folks in work had used the CTRL-A, Delete, type-like-crazy approach instead of starting with a clean document template each time. I found what I was looking for - the Office 2003/XP Add-in: Remove Hidden Data. Yet another hour wasted with MS tools.
