Death to MS Word!

By Donald Sensing

Microsoft Word is cumbersome, inefficient, and obsolete. It’s time for it to die. - Slate Magazine Amen, amen and amen. I hate Word with every fiber of my being. I dumped it for personal use in 1997 in favor of Wordperfect and have never looked back. I perforce use Word at my work, but for all personal use I never open Word. I have used Word 2003, 2007 and now 2010. All are equally reprehensible.

Alas, the Wordperfect X5 that I am using is likely to be the last version. It's been around for a long time already and Corel, which own WP, seems uninterested in upgrading it. Neither does WP link to the cloud as Word does (both to MS's cloud and to Google Docs, which is what I use). So to my dismay, it seems that Wordperfect's days are numbered.
