Uhh, that's a joke, right? Or have you really never used MS Word? As
someone who has had the misfortune[1] of using Word seriously for some
fairly large documents, I can assure that "static and predictable" is
not the phrase that comes to mind.

was one of the people at the company that led the conversion from
DOS/WordPerfect to Windows and Word. All I can offer is that I was both
young and misguided at the time. I'm no longer young...
