- I am a very happy user of Word2.0 for Windows. I just wish it did not use
- so damn much HD space!
- About the previous question comparing WP for Windoze and Word 2.0...
- Every publication I have read says that Word is more refined as a Windoze
- appication, and easier to use because of that. Wheras WP for Windoze is
- their forst Windows word processor.
- Look here: we are comparing version 1.0 of a GREAT program to version 2.0
- of a GREAT program.
- Now, I said that I am a happy user of Word 2.0.
- If I had the money, I would switch to AMI Pro 3.0 in a second, or wait for
- WP 2.0. (I only have Word2.0 because it came with my Gateway system).
- Now, if we wanted to make a fair comparison, compare Word 1.1 to WP 1.0
- WordPerfect is the hands-down winner.
- And I can honestly say that NOBODY can even come close to the HIGH QUALITY
- of WordPerfect's Tech-Support line.
- When WP2.0 comes out, I will definately look for a "competitive upgrade"
- from Word. Not because I don't like the program-- I do.
- I just like WordPerfect (the program, and especially the company), a
- whole lot more.
-
- Just my 2 cents worth...
