I had the "opportunity" to use Word:mac's latest version on a Panther
system (eMac 1.25 GHz G4). I could not believe how incredibly slow and
buggy Word was. Since it had been quite a while since I had used an
"updated" Word, I was amazed people actually pay good money for that,
and put up with its behavior. I promptly switched to using the AbiCocoa
nightly "development" builds that, aside from a little pixel dirt on
descenders, worked significantly nicer, and many times more
responsively, than Word.
