GR8 JRB MOO!

As this screen shot shows it, Mercury does not care if I have a 24" monitor. It is going to be 200 pixels and not one more, sir! Get over it, sir!



Has anybody tested this page? In the same vein: has anybody tested Outlook Web Access 2007? It behaves like a web mail from the early 2000s.

Why do expensive enterprise tools feel they must be sub-standard in their GUIs? Why is that that as soon as a product is deemed enterprise grade, the game changes and it suddenly is all about paying six figure license fees for something an open source project would feel embarrassed with.

Will vendors react or do they just try to milk the cow until it decides to kick them away? Or does the cow care at all? Maybe the cow likes arid and painful tools so they feel enterprisey?

Moo.
