<Which spread sheet is the easiest to use?
The only one you know how to use? This is like asking somebody from Turkey which language makes more sense, Turkish, or English.>

I know how to use Applix, 123, Quattro Pro, and Excel, I learned spreadsheets on Lotus 2.3, so what does your answer mean?

<Which Wordprocessor is the easiest to use? how about database? Presentation program?

See above.>

I know how to use Ami-Pro, Wordperfect, and Word, I learned on Wordperfect v. 5.0. I learned databases in Ashton-Tates DBASE, and I learned to use presentation graphics in Harbard Graphics. So, what does your answer mean?

I chose Word, Access, PowerPoint and Excel because they ended up being the BEST PRODUCTS!

<Which ones use natural language and artifiical intelligence?

Do you know how silly this sounds? Give me an example of AI in MSFT products, please.>

The automatic phrase completion in the Office and Studio IDE's, and Office 97 context sensitive help files, add to this the new agent technology. It may not be high end AI, but it is still natural language and AI nonetheless.
