"IMO the comparison of a Word processor to a 3D app isn't a valid one. Or up against a data base program, or a CAD program.....or even against a 2D graphics program like Photoshop."
I wasn't making a comparision. The person asked for "software without bugs" and I gave her a list of stuff that--in my experience and comparatively speaking--are bug free. BTW: Maybe it wasn't War and Peace, but I did put together a 256-page operations manual in Word. It contains many hi-res photos, illustrations, graphs, and tables. And I did it on a 512k machine usually with other software running. Word never choked on me.
I also note people love to make fun of Microsoft. And that's okay...it's normal for some to want to take shots at Number One, true or not. The bottom line is, IMO, they make some pretty good, reliable stuff. Some say the best. That's probably why they're Number One.
I'm using a Windows XP machine. What are you using?
