Or are we destined to suffer slow, clunky, eye-candy filled, advert ridden, patronising systems which are constantly under threat of being taken over by every bit of software you download?
Yes
If modern word processors are too bloat why not use old software? Something like Microsoft Word 95?
Thats what I do. I'm quite happy with MS Office 2000 on Windows and ClarisWorks 4 on the Mac.
I am always moaning about the bloat in modern software, but sometimes I just think, sod those bad new programmes. Use what works. Even if it is 10 years old. (Oh, and Microsoft Word 2007 requires a 500MHz processor and 256MB RAM as a minimum).
