I just hate transitional periods with a passion!

When I use a pristine system to connect online, I am doubly upset when I try to connect to Microsoft sites, and either the document I want is in PDF format only, or a specific Microsoft site requires Flash.

When I have both IE7 for reading XPS documents, and Silverlight installed on the system!

How upsetting is that?

Come on, guys!

I am calling on The Collective to hasten the transition, or at least, create automatic background converters for these products.
