Microsoft, why do you keep putting more nails in your own coffin? Doing things like this just makes more people liable to jump ship to Linux or Mac (to mix metaphors).

It's really very simple... install another viewer/editor.
And such a trrivial problem will hardly cause people to switch to Linux, where the
