Helpless
Microsoft just doesn't get it:
No. NO, NO, NO.
I don't want a machine "anticipating" anything I do. What I want is for the machine to do exactly what I tell it to do, when I tell it to do it, and not one iota more. A word processor that tries to "help" me write a letter is like having the person to whom you are speaking start "helping" you by anticipating your words and talking over you. It's beyond annoying; it's absolutely rage-inducing.
Or maybe I just need a vacation.
The next version of Microsoft Corp.'s Office software will feature simpler graphics and try to anticipate users' tasks as the company hopes to make the product easier to use

OH, NO! YOUR ANNOYANCE WITH THE "ANTICIPATION FEATURES" HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NEEDING A VACATION...IT'S JUST REALLY ANNOYING. I ALWAYS DISABLE THE HELP FEATURE. IF I WANTED HELP, I'D ASK FOR IT! GRRR.
WHOOPS..THAT LAST ONE WAS ME.
