The performance problems with Word for the Mac are in specific areas of the product. If Microsoft is unwilling to recognize them let alone fix them, the shareware community should step up and do it for them. It seems like a fairly straightforward project to patch word's search-and-replace code with an efficient one. Likewise the file save code. Why haven't we seen an effort such as these already? It isn't like there isn't a demand for the patches... There are many shareware patches to many commercial programs in the computing world, so the concept is nothing new.
