Really?  Does that also apply to their operating systems?  If so, it will be
a LONNNGGG time before the next release of OS/2 (or Presentation Manager,
or Windows, or MSDOS).

So, they have the policy.  How will they enforce it?  If one user finds a bug
in MSDOS, will they recall all copies of it?  :-)

>Is that anything like George Bush's "zero tolerance" policy?? :-)

How about, "No new taxes" ?   :-)

Yes, Word for Amiga would be nice to have, although an up-to-date version of
WordPerfect would be much nicer.

P.S.  Does it also apply to Microsoft BASIC on the Amiga?
