So, one of the great things about HTML (one of the few great things about
HTML :) is that it is almost universally accessible across platforms.  Now
if only Microsoft practiced what they preached, and used HTML for their
documents, maybe I would be able to see their marketing junk :).  As it
is, they are surely not going to convert me if they won't put their
documents online in a format where I can read them.

Perhaps it is just as well, from having read a few of the other responses
:).  They are saving themselves from having me laugh at them when relating
their story to friends :).
