As opposed to spending $150 for Word that will only work on my computer until I reformat it to run SUSE Linux or Ubuntu, I downloaded ABIWORD which is an open source software that interprets, writes, etc., Microsnot Word files. I might go with Vista if I can replace every other Microsnot program with open source. Source code is downloadable, and my security programs dont mind. Sinergy
