I agree with Pete.  I just got Microsoft's $9.95 dollar demo of Word for
Windows.  In it you can actually use a very limited version of the
program.  Let me put it this way----I am a 5 year Word Perfect junky and
after playing around with this demo this past weekend (in windows version
2.1 on a 10MHz mono EGA 286), Word Perfect will probably never be used again
in my house once I can actually afford to buy Word for Windows!!!! I
don't know much about the AMI word processors though but I hear they
also are very good!  I also have to admit that I use on occasion a Mac so
I am familiar with how Microsoft Word for the Mac works which is a lot
like the Windows version.
[The windows version is actually better, but considerably slower!]

On another note, after seeing Windows 3.0 in the store and now after
reading the information I got on it included in my update notice, I am 
cured of Mac-Envey and can even go so far as to say that Windows 3.0 is
as good as(if not better than) Motif for X-windows! [X-windows as far as
I know doesn't have proportional fonts].

	My $0.02 worth....maybe less....
