I'd say it has to do with ducking possible liability on M$' part. If they
include PayPal in their spelling dictionary, they'll have to keep up with the
market and include every other possible service that uses the internet as
well, and you know what a nightmare that can prove to be.
Since AOL bought Netscrape, they've done more to kill it than M$ ever did.
I'll be glad when it's finally gone, along with AOL, though.

Subject: OT: PayPal = payola?
Interesting one here...
While composing a reply in Outlook 2001 (on a Mac OSX 10.1.2), I wrote
'PayPal'. Since I have the program check spelling before sending :-) it came
up and thought I meant to write 'payola' instead of PayPal. Think M$ is
trying to say something?
