Having taken the plunge and done a clean install of OS 8.5, plus a clean
install of MS Office (not 98), MSWord 6.1 hangs on opening at the splash
screen. Happens with/without extensions. OK when I revert to OS 8.0. All
other Office components and about 15 other apps OK.

Motorola StarMax 3000 180MHz 603e, 98Mb RAM.

Otherwise I'm very impressed with noticeable speed increase and
'responsiveness'.
