      You are right that my perspective does not extend outside the USA.
      I never said there weren't *improvements* from Office 5.0 to the =
later
      versions.  I am saying those *improvements* are meaningless to 95% =
of
  the
      market, and in MANY or MOST situations those *improvements* are =
offset
  by
      dis-incentives and negative changes that are more negative than =
the
      improvements are positive.
      I like office 2000, have no plans to go above office 2000.  Truth =
is, I
      could easily stayed with Office 5.  I suspect that truth holds for =
95%
  of
      the market within my perspective.

         95% what market?  You surely do not mean people that speak many
      non-Western languages because Unicode support did not appear until
  Office
    97
      and support for more languages and better support for existing =
ones
      continued to improve with successive releases.  With your broad =
brush
  you
      are discounting a great deal of the people on this planet.  Far =
more
  than
      5%.  Western European language speaker are the minority.  Even you =
would
      have to be blind to not see the clear improvements between Office =
5.0 or
      even Office 95 and Office 2000.
         I suspect you have no clue what the improvements are in the two
    releases
      since the one you use.  If I'm wrong feel free to tell us all =
which
  Office
      2003 applications you use and what differences you perceived.

        The truth be told, Office for Win95 and Office 5.0 for Win3.1 =
was good
        enough for 95% of the market.
        I've stayed at the Office 2K level with no intention on the =
horizon of
      going
        higher.
