Please disregard the above regression test "results".  After spending several
hours downloading the required files (several hundred MB) as per the regression
instructions in the link above, and learning how git works so that I understand
what I'm doing, and then reinstalling Office 2007 for testing, I'm still not
sure of what it is that I'm supposed to be providing.  The regression testing
seemed like a futile exercise, since I could never get a bisect that allowed
powerpoint to work.  

As an end user just trying to ensure that a problem is made known, I think I've
done my fair share.  I submitted the bug report 5 months ago.  Surely you're
not waiting for the end-user to do all the testing before you even confirm that
a bug is valid.   

The problem still exists, and is simple to reproduce: 
- install Microsoft Office 2007
- Set Windows version to XP, override the riched20.dll driver, and see that
everything works ok.
- Set Windows version to Vista (or higher) and try to open Powerpoint, Excel,
Word, etc.
- See that it fails.

I'm certain that any developer that knows what he/she is looking for can run a
test and get the desired information much quicker than it took me to fail at my
attempts.
