Microsoft has already announced that Word 3.01 will be made available as a free upgrade to everyone who is a registered user of 3.0, and for the same terms as Word 3.0 for the rest of the world. They know they blew the QA, and they're eating the results. Can't be more fair than that. The timeframe I've heard is June, but I don't know how firm it is -- I do get the feeling from talking to them that they won't ship it until they are satisfied about the quality. chuq Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM [I don't read flames] There is no statute of limitations on stupidity
