Aparently the product has no means of taking the data produced by the user to other software/tools. It wold be trivial to provide that through any of the varios apis in .Net, so I presume it is an intentional miss. Incredible as it may seem in the age of openness and user empowrment that we enjoy today, Microsoft resorts to practices of hard locking from the past. Knowledge users should know better!
