Actually, binhex is right. The reviewers do install it for a short period. I'd be suprised if it was even as long as a few hours.
Also, binhex merely said "That doesn't tell me much" which, in actuality, it doesn't.
The program may be stable, or it may not be. The reviewer probably didn't have it going long enough to make a firm, truthful statement one way or the other.
You say you have it installed and have so for awhile and you have no problems. That's your opinion. It holds more weight than does the reviewers, wouldn't you agree?
My brother and Father run WP at their law firm. They like it. It's simple, it has bugs and quirks, but they are familiar with it. They have been noticing though, that slowly but surely large law firms are migrating to Office. For better or worse, most of the clerks offices in the local and state governments are Wordperfect-only, however most of the Federal courts are Office-only. It makes for a real nightmare when submitting court documents.
The reason I said unfortunately earlier, is that WP (previous vers, at least) were a pain to administer. There's always some quirk, or some bug that prevents someone from doing something. My Dad got Office XP installed on his new laptop and he started using it and actually told me (after having argued and argued with me about moving to Office) "Why didn't you tell me Office was this great!"
I never expected that since, really, what's the major difference between all the major word processors?
It turns out that the interface in Office XP is so much superior to all the rest, he works much faster in Word than in WordPerfect.
Now my brother, the most rabid WP defender in the world, is slowly starting to use Office XP (my dad forced him to buy it and install it) more and more and use WordPerfect only when the court requires it (although the converter in Office XP is usually enough).
