    I can see that I am not the only one that sits by my mail box
waiting for MS to send me a sign of life (its only been 4 months).  Something like
2.00b or 2.00c would be nice.

    I registered my BORLAND C/C++ and they sent me a GIFT (a book and two disks) for my
trouble within three weeks.  That is a company that has my respect and attention.  I love
WinWord but I don't expect to buy anything else from MS because of this lack of support.

    Ideally a company( and this applies to products and services) would use their
customers' knowledge and experiences to improve their thing. A simple multiple-choice
type survey which can be compiled by machine would give a company a design staff of
thousands if not millions for peanuts.

    I will think long and hard before I feed MS anymore of my hard earned cash!
The sad thing is I wrote a letter to MS Canada after two months of waiting telling them
that I would be interested in more language dictionaries and more clipart i.e. I wanted
to give them more money, but no! They still havn't reponded.

    Doesn't AMIPRO have a great competitive upgrade?
