If you are using it for your job, then yeah, but otherwise it doesnt make sense for most people, because they use it to type up something once a month, if that.

That's kinda what I'm getting at. If you're willing to shell out for this, just buy Office.

If you're not willing to shell out, use a free product. Don't go half way and buy crappy software (unless you have a Mac, iWork is ok-ish).

Don't buy Works and then complain it doesn't do everything Word does.

Hold on, there are people who spend money on Works?

Ouch.
