That's total nonsense. The 10.1.4 Updater fixed about 1000 bugs and
improvements in Office. Get it now. (So did 10.1.0 and 10.1.1: if you don't
believe in updates, why aren't you in 10.0.0?)

The most important thing is that - as with all previous updaters - the
database and database rebuild engine are more robust in each update. It's
frankly - pardon me - stupid not to take advantage of that. You may be very
sorry one day.

Why do you call it a "tax"? You don't have to upgrade if you don't want to.
What kind of perverse philosophy says that 3 years of work at making anew
version with tons of new features shouldn't cost an upgrade price? Microsoft
is no different form any other software company - everyone charges upgrade
fees for major version upgrades. And so they should. In the meantime, you
can update to v10.1.4 for FREE.

OK. The future is NOW, mind you.
