I understand that The Word from Microsoft will be copy protected in
such a way that the master disk will be required to run the program.
Microsoft's Multiplan is already set up this way, and several people I
know have tried to copy it with no success.
My feeling is that this makes the program worthless - Murphy's law
guarantees that when you *need* that disk to get out a critical
report, it will be found trashed. If you can't steal a program, it's
not worth buying.
Is there anyone who owns a Mac who is going to buy The Word in spite of
the above, and why?
