Depends...

If your looking for fewer bugs and more iterations in the
environment, the MS-WORD takes the blue ribbon by a long shot. If
your looking for features, then pick the one  that gives the most
warm fuzzies...

The question you should really be asking yourself is :

"Which one fits my style of work best."

To answer that one, you have to sit down and drive them yourself
for a while and make that determination. Without going into a lot
of gory details, they both have the same main types of features,
with some differences. The religious ones will quote details
ad-nauseum to convince you otherwise. Unless you have a specific
need that only one of these packages will fulfill, it's really 6 of
one, half dozen the other.

I prefer WORD, because it does all the things I need, and it fits
my work style much better than WordPerfect. That's not to say
WordPerfect is bad, just that in my SUBJECTIVE evaluation of the
product, I have determined that it is not for me.

Hope this helps...

...Paul
