Keep in mind that my mother had pretty much no problem with Vista.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Indeed.
But these days I stay with NotePad.

I'll never forget the day I was trying to do my usual grad-school paper style of:
1) title page
2) page with quote or picture
3) start of paper text (with no number)
4) second page (numbering starts with 2)
In Word.
I was on with the help line at Microsoft for almost an hour before I (emphasis on I) finally figured out how to do it.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that I loved Word 4.0. Which was... 1990, or thereabouts. It did everything I needed it to, in about three different ways, but wasn't this bloated unintuitive mess we now have. I still miss it. Once upon a time, I was able to set styles and have them work; no more.

I actually still kinda fondly miss PFS:Write. I used that on my Apple II for years. Then Appleworks, but I seem to remember liking PFS more.

Hey. New board.
I like LaTeX. And am rather fond of Pages, for most of my duties. Neither of them lets me do a really good merge from an arbitrary spreadsheet, though, so Word serves a major purpose for me.
