MS Word is infinitely better on the MAC than in DOS in terms of appearance and useability, functionally the same. I was really glad to see that Bill Gates got his head (almost) out of his ass and decided to put up Word for win 2.0. He just seems to have this nasty habit of putting up a piece of scheista-like software and then a couple of months later offering "low-cost" upgrades to the program that should have been released in the first place. <<<<Bill Gates is the Anti Christ and he's a geek too(a rich one though)>>> <<<<Word Perfect is a large piece of crap and a piss poor Word Processor>> > Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Word written originally for DOS, then > ported to the Mac -- in which case is the Wonders (ahem... Windows) version > really a port from DOS?? And from what I have heard from people fluent > in both Word and WordPerfect, WP is the better of the two (I wouldn't know > firsthand, so don't flame me!
