| It is worth noting that Microsoft still hasn't made any headway
| in the search-and-portal game and, in fact, is falling farther andf
| arther behind. As a result, it is not surprising that Steve Ballmer
| is now warning media companies that Google is the Evil Empire --
| because no other competitive tactic has worked.

| In order to use Microsoft Office Live, you will need to have
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later running on Microsoft Windows
| 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Microsoft Windows Server 2003. You
| can download the latest version of Internet Explorer from the Microsoft
| Download Center.
