Had you heard of Microsoft Reader or used it?
Its a bad idea. They must promote it when the s/w goes down. And discontinuing is wrong decision. Most people don’t know about this. When the tablet PC’s and ipad and other pads are in demand, this s/w will surely be useful and may be a hit. MS should give a new version and online ads of the s/w so that it may be good as win7.
