While Microsoft could have kept the traditional “.doc” as its default format for MS Word, this would not have served its purpose: eventually, after enough of the world pays for Office 2007, holdouts will be dragged along, kicking and screaming. Then, in four or five years, Microsoft will begin our agony all over again.
尽管微软也许会把传统的“doc”文件作为MS Word的缺省格式，但这样做却并非它的目的：最终，在全世界足够数量的人掏钱购买了Office 2007之后，无论如何挣扎喊叫，那些坚守阵地的人都会被拖着向前走。而后，在4到5年的时间里，微软会再次上演让我们痛苦的一幕。
