>>What is undeniably stunning/sad is Office '97. Its amazing how many times they try to resell the same product to a public who does not want it. which is another genius ms labeling. win95, win98, win200 etc. office97.. etc. Almost same product, with extra features added to the 70-90% that are not/will not be used by customers. Yet they sell at $200+ a pop. I for one am still using word 2.0. sweet and small. features are more than I care to have. >>these programs would be mostly forwards compatible. I always laugh when I remember the incompatibility between word 6 and office 97. Get this.. they forgot to add backward compatibility. How more blatant their claims have to be. I don't want to deal with a company with such dishonesty and lack of my (the user) interest. Do you want to deal with them?
