In a lucid moment, Max Mansour babbled: >In your answer below, you forgot to mention the main reason. Most software >Microsoft produces is quite good, if not great. This is subjective. If it does what you want it to do, you'll probably rate it as "quite good." If it doesn't, you don't. >Your logic (below) does not provide an answer as to why the #1 selling word >processor for MacOS is MS Word. I still believe that this is a cycle. Most offices have standardized on Microsoft Word because it has a majority of the market. The reason it has the majority of the market is because most offices have standardized on Microsoft Word. It has nothing to do with quality. If it did, we'd all still be running WordPerfect 5.1, which did everything it said it could. Can't say that about most of the drek out there now. -- Derick Siddoway Micro$oft: A bunch of mindless, Pepsi-drinking Computer Flunky jerks who price-gouge totalitarian governments, University Hospital and who will be the first against the wall when University of Utah the revolution comes.
