Story: Linux vendors hope to ride PC upgrade wave

The big disadvantage of the way Microsoft continuously upgrades packages is the drop in productivity that occurs each time.
I'm not a professional graphic artist, and if I were I would not be using any of the MS packages to do my work.
As a fully trained (manual) typist I was able to produce excellent quality office work (and small newsletters) with MS Word for Windows 2 that could only be bettered by the work of a graphic artist.
The weakness of MS Word 2 was that it was unable to produce long documents, with many pictures and objects. It just fell apart.
MS Word 2003 is still was unable to do this.
In the meantime I have had to relearn various keystroke functions, minor things change for no reason, and do not talk to me about the latest changes is formatting styles aaagghhh!!!
