A few weeks ago, I wrote a letter to Microsoft Corp. in West Germany, asking them
if they had any plans to produce software for the Amiga. The answer was what I
expected - no.

So far so bad. Yesterday, I installed WinWords (Word for Windows) on a 386. After I
had to do it 3 times because of memory troubles or false mouse drivers (it seems that
you can't install another mouse driver - you have to do the whole thing again)
I started the program and couldn't help laughing.
If you pull down a menu using the keyboard, not the mouse, and then change to
another window using the cursor keys, it takes about 1 second to refresh the
screen (erase the old menu and draw the new one) :-)

Microsoft had better produce WinWord for the Amiga 3000. There at least it wouldn't
take 1 second to refresh the screen.
