Word 1.0 was the stage of Word's denial, when it was first introduced for the Windows Operating System. It did not accept the horrid facts that it was a putrid word processor and had no market share.
Word 2.0 and 3.0 were the stages of Word's anger, where it shut out all those who desired to get closer to it, such as Corel's WordPerfect, despite the wisdom of the situtation it carried that came with its age and experience.
Word 6.0 was it's acceptance stage, where it came to better understand the nature of word processing. It realized that in order to get market share it needed to branch out into other peer groups. Hence it was ported directly to Macintosh. This version was slow and often memory intensive, but as Word's primary counselor was quoted as saying, "Eh, it's a start."
Additional versions of Word such as Word 97 however, amrked a regression for Word. Its abilities as an HTML editor were improved in that it now had use to specific HTMLbuttons and improved background functionality, but it was not efficient in generating skillful HTML code, such as marquee effects. This was a newfound increase in useless capabilities for Word. This change in Word was noticable on its peers, as it unfortunately inspired similar behavior in Windows ME, which eventually was led to its end in this manner.
The breakthrough came with Word 2003. This was because this version marked the use of ink annotations for Tablet PCs. Therefore, rather than simply working like a sub-standard HTML editor, it went back to what many consider to be the Golden AgeofWord Processing: It functioned like the classic pen and paper that inspired the newer movements of Word Processing and HTML Programming. This can be related to how newer rock music has been created less with the use of LSD and Cannabis but instead going back to the classic manner of music composition: Under the influence of mercury poisoning.
Word is expected to make a complete recovery within the next two design cycles, and will then be a normal functioning member of word processing society.
Just thought that people would be interested in seeing that on X-Play, apparently Wikipedia gained sentience through studying its own content back in 1994. Episode was on yesterday. --E Liquere 04:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
