The symbol has value in it's original context, and I don't like it being censored from widespread use in office software due to something that briefly happened 50 years ago, no matter how horrible it was.

You seem to be forgetting a main issue in this argument: it's NOT "removing your freedom to use it" OR causing "widespread censorship."
Microsoft has made the patch AVAILABLE to those who want it, but they are NOT forcing it on those who aren't offended by it. If it doesn't offend you, don't download it. Problem solved. Like I said earlier, Microsoft making an optional patch to remove the Swastika is simply good customer support and marketing. Can you imagine what would happen if they didn't? I can see it now..."Microsoft started the Holocaust."
They are offering the tools to remove it. REMOVE IT if you want to, leave it if it doesn't offend you. Argument over.
