	This list is becoming too high traffic.  ;^)  However, as the
originator of the Hall of Shame link, I'd like to point a few things out.
(1) They have been up for a long time now.  Before Microsoft bashing came
into season.
(2) They aren't saying that ALL Microsoft interfaces are bad.  In fact, if
you look at the Hall of FAME, they LOVE most of the stuff.  They don't
like MS software when it doesn't conform to their own style guides, or
violates some rules of GUI design.  They aren't saying MS is evil of
horrible.
