    That was actually a very decent low budget productivity suite for a very long time. Only at the very end was it not so great.

        Blame cheap-ass management for that, not MS. It was only ever meant for home and student use.

        I hear ya, I’m just saying that MS Works was decent software for its target market. In fact, there was a time in the late 90s when Microsoft Works and Microsoft Office were pretty close and capability. That period didn’t last long, though.

          I guess making sure NEW CUSTOMERS CAN’T GET THEIR DATA INTO YOUR HIGH END PRODUCTIVITY SUITE is just good business then?

          No, this was typical 1990s “we don’t need to make good decisions because we’re a monopoly” Microsoft.
