Having been a typographer in the "old days" (Varityper photomechanical 
machines to begin with) I'd have to agree. Actually, pretty much nothing 
I have seen that runs on a PeeCee knows much about typography...

Further Word is extremely inefficient in disk space, execution and 
storage. For a comparison in efficiency, look at Abi Word.
