While my initial opinion still stands, I do concur that Microsoft does
take some blame perhaps as the software should be able to deal with some
errors. However if you save minimally every 10-15 minutes perhaps more,
you are guaranteed of losing only that much work unless a subsequent crash
takes the document with it... If you refuse to save often, and trust the
computer and the "software" not to screw up, you still get what you ask for,
and thats a lot of work down the drain...
