Default B&Q (OT rant)

From a "confusing" POV that may in fact not be a bad idea. The latest
version has a radically different UI that is claimed to be better if you
are learning it from scratch. (not so good if you need to un-learn the
old version first.

I often find it surprising just how poor it is. You can tell that a
large proportion of the userbase must just use it to knock out 3 page
memos and letters. Doing complex techie documents on it is march harder
than in word perfect.
