I've just got emails from Microsoft confirming that I am now an MCSE and an MSDBA. It looks like you get a bit better stuff from this that just MCP - possibly free MSDN subscription for a year. It's not quite clear from the mail but they promise they've sent me a welcome pack which has the full details (and my badge :) ) so we'll soon see.

I wish I could agree with you, but to be honest MS Word was the first product that tempted me away from my Amiga and onto PC's back in 1993 and I haven't seen anything better since. I've experienced the same bizarre weirdness as you regarding the strange formatting and reversion to the default font, but I always figured it's because I have never really read the instructions. I suppose it can be argued that if we need a manual for a word processor, then it's not easy enough to use, but the problem still remains that I havent seen any other word processor I've preferred for almost a decade now. :(

As for Outlook Express, yes it lacks several useful features that have been standard in Outlook for several versions now, which is annoying. I'm still not entirely convinced it's superior to Pegasus Mail, which is what I always used to use. On the other hand, I dunno which version you're using, but in version 6 on the PC, I can still change the font colour and send blind copies. I dont remember those features ever being missing.

Well, we're using whatever version Outlook Express insisted on downloading, so I assume it must be the latest...
