Because it is a Microsoft product, but you probably already knew that. :^)

  • Why would Word have memory problems

    I have had the same problems using Mac OS 9.2 and MS-Office 2001. No matter how much memory I allocate to the app, I still get the same message. So, I read about how another Mac/MS problem was solved when I defragmented my Hard Drive using Norton. Try it! It might just work!

    You'd be surprised at the number of memory problems in other applications, and probably even more surprised when you find out that Microsoft products have no more of them than those of the competition...

    It's just as possible (if not more so) that the memory problem in this case was due to Wine reporting less resources to Word than were really there for whatever reason (maybe even the Wine developers wanting a practical joke and thinking it would be kewl (or was that c00l these days) to make Microsoft look bad by doing things that cause errors in Microsoft products), it's hard to tell...
