The entire debate started when someone posted a message asking for advice about upgrading. It seems that the office being upgraded is still running DOS and an old version of WordPerfect. They are upgrading to Windows 95, and were trying to figure out if it was better to start using Word for Windows 95 or WordPerfect for Windows. The debate raged with people providing comments on the two different programs. Some people love Word for Windows 95.
Some people hate it.
For those people living in a vacuum, there is little else to consider. Let me suggest that the priorities here are all wrong. If you are upgrading, the first and most important factor to determine is what will work with your user base . If you have a large secretarial pool that does nothing but type letters all day, then the last thing you want to do is force them to learn how to use a new word processor just because it has a nifty new macro language that nobody will ever use. Try to evaluate your user's needs, not the features of the programs.
