From: Steven T. Kirsch <SK @ MIT-MC> We have both products here. Windows has a terribly confusing user interface and right now you can't do ANYTHING. VisiON is a complete product, well documented, well debugged, fast, well thought out, consistent, and very functional. They did not just repackage their existing products, e.g., Visi on Calc is more powerful than Lotus 123! It only takes about 20 minutes to master (well, that's how long it took me and I didn't bother to read the documentation). All in all, it looks like VisiCorp is at least a year ahead of Microsoft. My impression of the software is that it's going to be VERY hard for anyone to do much better than VisiOn as far as performance and functionality.
