I keep having the same problem with Excel 2007 (a spreadsheet program) where it crashes when I try to do a simple task. I've tried this on other computers/networks and experienced the same problem.
I called Microsoft and had the support guy go through the steps that were causing my, as well as other's, systems to crash. In a victory to end users everywhere... it crashed on the Microsoft support guy as well. "This is serious!" he exclaimed. He then went to his supervisor and came back, reporting that "It's a glitch, not an issue," meaning not a lot of people are calling on this problem. Basically, they're not going to fix it until enough people complain, or they get around to it. Whichever comes first.
Pretty amazing for a piece of software bundled in a $400+ suite. Not for me... every Microsoft item on my computer is pirated using Last XP. Hell, if I could get fake Microsoft keyboards and mice, I would, just to complete the theme. I would have a framed picture on the wall of Bill Gates... but it wouldn't be him, but a guy that looks a lot like him (easy to find... I'll snap pictures of random guys at Reed College's next Renn Faire) with a fake autograph. You see where I'm going with this? Neither do I.
Check out Open Office.
