I tried to get used to Word 2000... I had to use it for over a month before I got the WordPerfect CD from home to install that onto my comp with. I definitely prefer Wordperfect 6.1 to Word 2000. No question... Of course, the fact I've now been using Wordperfect 6.1 for 6 or 7 years, and thus and very familiar with it, I'm sure has a impact on my not being used to or liking Word's interface and design... still, Wordperfect 6.1 (the 1996 edition) does have some things Word 2000 doesn't. One that comes to mind is that in wordperfect, when you have multiple files open, they open in multiple windows in the same main Wordperfect window, not in seperate occurances of the program like Word does. Nice... like how Netscape 7's tabbed browsing is one of the (many) reasons that it's better than Explorer.
As for the console war... Yeah, I do fear that if Sony makes a mistake Microsoft is better prepared to adapt and try to capitalize on it... adaptibility and change have clearly not been things Nintendo has any skill at all in...
