About 6 years ago I wrote about Microsoft Word: Living with the Beast. Nothing has happened since to change my opinion of Word.
Recently some Word bug related to cross-references made a hash of a technical document I wrote. A quick Google turned up this pithy quote from an anonymous tech writer commenting on a newsletter post

Thanks chrismealy! Of course that's me and about a thousand other people, though most aren't old enough to remember the Netscape Constellation vision.
