Just an opinion but Word is simply a bloated piece of overkill. We don't
need something like it on the GS. We need a lean and mean word processor.
For what it's worth I see nothing of worth in Word for people not using it
as a corporate standard. Junk...Write Now is a far better model for
something which would live on the GS. Micrososft and so many other PC vendors
have taken to selling their products by the pound.
