Anyone else working or has worked at a company that completely ignores 
this feature, even though XP is now the desktop standard, and installed 
OTHER software to do the same job?

Sorry, not very Linux-related and probably OT, but I just find the 
Dilbertisms entertaining.

To be fair, the software they're using also gives them installed 
software audit information to help them keep from blowing their allowed 
number of licenses of various things.

And they will never "get" why Free Software could rescue them from 
themselves.  All the additional pain for three things... Outlook, Visio, 
and Excel.  Outlook and Excel are pretty easily replaced with Free 
variants to at least a somewhat successful degree.  Visio is a tougher 
nut to crack.

Perhaps that's a way to keep this on-topic -- anyone know the killer 
drawing app that is as "easy" to use for the masses as Visio that's Free 
or at least Open Source?

I'm asking but I'm not expecting much out of that question... and no, 
Xfig probably doesn't cut it.  Gimp probably has the power but is too 
confusing for the average Salesperson.  I remember a project named Kivio 
for KDE, but haven't looked at it in a long time.  Any thoughts?
