Another great example of how Word 2007 "brings commands closer to the surface"

For those who want a dedicated screen capture utility that is really
full-featured (and still very affordable), I recommend SnagIt
(www.techsmith.com).

It all depends what are the user's actual needs.
There is no point in having a "really" full-featured application if only a
few of these features are ever used.
Most screen captures that I personally ever make can be done with
"FastStone Capture" for free. And I would assume this to be the case with
most ordinary end-users. Why should we fork out $40 for additional features
that we would never use? What's more, "SnagIt" has got few extra features
that would not be available in "FastStone Capture".

Also note that a lot of users own a dedicated graphic application such as
Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop. These applications can make screen captures
too. And they are as "full-featured" as "SnagIt" can be. Whenever I need
the extra features (especially editing features), I use Paint Shop Pro. But
"FastStone Capture" answsers most ordinary needs. Especially when all the
user wants to do is send a (few) screen capture(s) of his customisation of
the Word UI...
 
Ok, I understand. You-all have done what you could.

But I still say, the more Microsoft hears serious, sustained criticisms of
2007, from whatever source, the more chance there is that they will see the
badness of what they've done and change course.
 
And I certainly intend to write a long letter to Microsoft, to all the
relevant parties I can find. If many others did the same, something might
get through to them.
