Why will OpenOffice never replace Microsoft Office? Because other applications are so intertwined with the Office APIs that they just assume that you have Office installed, even when it shouldn't be necessary. Case in point: to add a threaded hole to a plate in Autodesk Inventor, you MUST have Excel installed. Even though creating a threaded hole has NOTHING whatsoever to do with spreadsheets.

  People will put up with not getting physical discs, Activation and even renting this stuff. What kind of crack rock is it made of?

  I researched this problem, and on their support forums, an Autodesk rep said "You just have to have Excel installed. Sorry." No explanation, no nothing.
  
  They may make great CAD software, but Autodesk is one of the biggest a$$hole software companies in the world, and that's REALLY saying something.
