Today I hate Microsoft. While I’m certainly no particular cheerleader for the Redmond Mob, I don’t particularly dislike them, either. XP is a pretty decent OS, at least when you compare it to its predecessors.

What’s got me foaming at the mouth is how Word 2004 for OS X keeps taking a big ol’ crap on my desktop every so often. I’m trying to finish a 50-page technical document, and it keeps locking up. I’m pretty confident it’s not my system at fault - a dual-processor 1.25GHz G4 with 768MB of RAM - and none of my other apps have been flaky like this. Maybe I’ll reinstall it. Maybe it’s because I’m running OS X 10.4. I don’t know. All I do know is it’s the only thing crashing, and it’s so bad even its crashes are crashing. Check this out:
