Well, I think I'd have to agree with this, and I'd also have to say that's why
Microsoft is killing the competition, because everyone does this.  Noone's
going to argue the benefits of the upgrades, but it is without a doubt keeping
you, a current owner of their product, investing more and more money.

My only displeasure lately has been (as has been stated) the increasingly
sluggish performance of Word 5.0, and something that irked me (although a minor
point) the Excel 4.0 manual for the Mac is just the Windows manual.  I mean
come on Microsoft, let's cut some real corners and make one manual for all
versions with no graphics.

It only seems like Microsoft has decided that the Macintosh platform is locked
up in Spreadsheets and Word Processing, so they might as well save efforts
here.

.. As Terry said, this is just my opinion and not based on facts, other than
those I know in my brain.
