You are a lawyer and/or accountant, right? Do you apply the same low =
standard to your professional work?

My estimate based upon my experience is 95%. I'm happy with that =
estimate.

If you truly expect 95% than I believe you are full of it and just =

I never said it wasn't. What is it about the definition of the =
words "I
Suspect" that seem to so trouble your reading comprehension. Quit =
being
such a touchy ass about this. Its not my fault nobody wants to =
upgrade
their MS Office software.
Your employer needs to build a business model that doesn't rely upon =
full
cost monopoly priced upgrades of products every 9 months. That =
isn't my
fault either. Eventually, people say "wait a minute", again not my =

I guess Microsoft could get lots of office upgrades if they just =

a

You are right that my perspective does not extend outside the USA.
I never said there weren't *improvements* from Office 5.0 to the =
later
versions. I am saying those *improvements* are meaningless to 95% =
of
the
market, and in MANY or MOST situations those *improvements* are =
offset
by
dis-incentives and negative changes that are more negative than =
the
improvements are positive.
I like office 2000, have no plans to go above office 2000. Truth =
is, I
could easily stayed with Office 5. I suspect that truth holds for =
95%
of
the market within my perspective.

95% what market? You surely do not mean people that speak many
non-Western languages because Unicode support did not appear until
Office
97
and support for more languages and better support for existing =
ones
continued to improve with successive releases. With your broad =
brush
you
are discounting a great deal of the people on this planet. Far =
more
than
5%. Western European language speaker are the minority. Even you =
would
have to be blind to not see the clear improvements between Office =
5.0 or
even Office 95 and Office 2000.
I suspect you have no clue what the improvements are in the two
releases
since the one you use. If I'm wrong feel free to tell us all =
which
Office
2003 applications you use and what differences you perceived.

The truth be told, Office for Win95 and Office 5.0 for Win3.1 =
was good
enough for 95% of the market.
I've stayed at the Office 2K level with no intention on the =
horizon of
going
higher.
