Ha-ha! I started on Word 1.0 and MSDOS. Word 1.0 seemed better than a really clunky wp program (whose name I forget) that I used before that. Having been through many upgrades since then, I would say that the MS trend has been to make things easier for the really dumb user by automating everything in sight and in the process drive everyone else mad until they learn how to disable the new automatic features. Perhaps they finally learned their lesson from the reaction to the awful "Clippy".
