A couple of years ago I noticed how bloody slow MS Word 3.0 was. A quick
examination of the CODE resources confirmed my worst fears: It's not
really 68K object code! It's interpreted P-Code.

What really frosts _me_ about Microsoft is their ability to deform the
world. People buy their products, then twist themselves and their businesses
to conform to the way that MS thinks the world works. I'm constantly 
amazed that the users have not given up on MS. Hey, there are _real_
word processors out there, there are real publishing systems, etc., etc.
