I'm just wondering why other people chose MS word. My reason for keeping it was pretty simple. In any case, after we get some posts here we can add a list of reasons why we chose MS Word. If you chose another program, write why you think it's better. We need to brainstorm a little to get an overall critique showing what we chose as the preferred program and why
My reasons:
I own a copy, the fact that it costs more doesn't matter to me in the least. I've payed the cost if I use it or not.
It has more overall options than the free programs.
I can have more instances of MS Word open than the web based programs.
The Word document file is fairly universal.
I don't need to be connected to the internet, but I can upload things to it if I want to.
I've had a lot of experience with the software and am quite proficient.

RE: Why did you Choose MS Word?

It seems that the main argument from geekzone.co is that Windows OS is becoming less important and valuable since online apps will eventually dominate. I suppose I could see this happening eventually, but not quite yet. I have yet to experience a really good online program that can deal with large files as quickly as a program on my desktop. Even just to upload, edit and then download a photo takes longer than necessary. Im not sure this is directly related to why I chose MS Word, but this is what I got from the argument.
Interestingly enough, while I was on campus one day last week, I was unable to check or work on our Google doc since the internet was out for a good 5 hrs. I can see this as a major problem if i were completely reliant on online apps to do my work.
