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.
