Are you familiar with Microsoft Works? It's sort of a My First Office Suite kind of thing which includes support for Microsoft Word and Excel documents. It is usually not sold separately, but instead comes pre-installed on new OEM machines. Well, Microsoft has announced today that it will kill Microsoft Works, and replace it with Microsoft Office 2010 Starter - an ad-supported version of Office 2010.

They have also sponsored DOCX filters for Open Office, so you can still use their format on your Linux/OOo machine.
Yeah, what a bunch of morons, eh? I mean, if they had any business sense at all, they'd recommend a competitor's product instead of their own.
