If you are a paying customer and Microsoft is not, then I think that the
vendor will most likely pay more attention to the one that purchases the
product, but that is just me.
It never hurts to complain - the worst they can do is ignore you. And then
you are free to ignore them AND their products.

After furious head scratching, Kent V. Busse, J.D. asked:
| Please don't volunteer for blame that doesn't exist. You are a
| valuable helper and Microsoft is a valuable producer. I could not do
| well without either of you. Ergo: there is only credit due, nothing
| to blame.
|
| Furthermore, the light has gone on at this end: Microsoft did not
| put the ZoneAlarm or ScanSoft toolbar where it is. I had NOT thought
| about that.
|
| When we unitedly go to the third parties to ask them to provide a
| "lock the toolbar" option, do you think the request will get more
| attention if it comes from me than it would if it comes from
| Microsoft? I don't think individual humans come in that size!<g>

||| Microsoft allows access to a portion of the Outlook window, I would

||| Standardization is the reason for tolerating a giant.
|||
||| Thank you for providing the explanation!

||| |||| It is a problem that the developers of the Outlook add-in toolbars
