I mean, sure PCWorld, your authors need to make money being Microsoft's shills. But there are alternatives that don't cost people any money, and don't lock them into the shoddiest crap for a small fortune, that have ongoing 'upgrade' costs, forever.

Hey there, Mr. Holier-Than-Thou: Maybe this article is directed to someone whose employer has, for better or worse, standardized on Microsoft Office. And maybe this employee is more focused on advancing their career rather than being a rabble-rouser like you?

An employer would probably assume their database users already know how to use a REAL database.

Other than clueless idiots in charge of infinitely more clueless posers, who would turn to a PCWorld article for advice on how to create and maintain a database.
