Ah, Word 5.1  I did most of my GCSE and A-level coursework using that on my parent's Mac SE/30. Then came Word 6 - for those who lived through those dark times I don't need to say any more!

The problem Microsoft have long had is how do you constantly innovate and sell something that doesn't really need innovating or updating. On the PC, Word 2003 is fine and does the job, as does Windows XP. But I suppose with OpenOffice hot on their heels and Mac OS X looking more sexy they have to constantly add pointless gimics to get people to shell out for new software.
