More of the same from Microsoft..., 25 Mar 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: MICROSOFT WORD 2002 (CD-ROM)
For those who don't already have a word processor, then yes, if you buy this product (and can afford it!), you may find it useful. But you should be warned that it will eat up a ridiculous amount of computer resources; that it comes equipped with all sorts of arcane extras that you'll probably never need, discover, or understand; and that it has a built in 'intelligence' that - until you learn how to turn it off - will consistently 'help' you by screwing up every document you're working on.
In spite of which, it *still* won't do some basic stuff that you'll find in other word processors - perhaps that's because Microsoft don't want to hurt the sales of another of their programs (Publisher).
And if you already have a word processor - especially if you have a previous version of WORD, you don't need this.
Wouldn't it be nice if software manufacturers learned that we don't really want wordprocessors that do everything except make tea and do the housework?
Wouldn't it be nice if they produced a lean, mean program that did did what you need without filling your hard drive with junk?
Perhaps one day they'll offer a word processor that processes words, at a reasonable price, perhaps with separately purchased plug-ins for those who like word processors that can play music and chess, and indulge in intelligent conversation...

Poor attempt, 8 Dec 2004
This review is from: MICROSOFT WORD 2002 (CD-ROM)
I am a computer nerd, and I find this technology very late 90s. It should have been released 5-10 years ago, not recently.
