I was merely pointing out that the expression "if it ain't broke, don't fix
it" is broken in itself as it stops progress. Whether that progress is for
the sake of progress or not was never part of that discussion.

The intention of my original reply to the OP was that as he had a perfectly
fine product (2003) but still decided to upgrade to 2007, he forfaited any
rights to complain about changes made to the product.

Word 2003 wasn't broken, so according to your logic,
Microsoft shouldn't have created a Word 2007 and even when
they did, the OP shouldn't have upgraded to it.

The expression "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" has
serious drawbacks. If you follow this rule strictly there
will never be any progress.


Oh, man, here we go again. Progress for the sake of progress. If it ain't
broke, then it doesn't need to be fixed. That says absolutely NOTHING for
the researchers, but is good advice to a user. If the $$ spent don't buy
you anything you can use, then it's wasted money. A person upgrades when
there is a value offered in the upgrade, not simply because "it's there".
Microsoft must really love you!
