wordpad vs word

[Jim Macklin]

The latest WORKS is WORKS 7.0 and costs about $50-60 and
does not include WORD. The latest WORKS SUITE (SUITE is
the key word) does include WORD 2002/XP and several other
application and costs $100-120. It is the least expensive
way to get WORD, but it does not serve as an upgrade path to
OFFICE.


| So? IOW it is in the latest Works, as I said!

BTW, I'm not familiar with the IOW, is that some insult I
should take offense about?

You split hairs. The latest Works wherever I have seen it in stores ALWAYS
has Word in it. Nowhere is it sold that way any longer.
