Title: Does anyone remember this about MS Word?
Post by: bwid_s_01 on 21 August 2003, 00:47

I can't recall exactly when but I think it was around 3 or 4 years ago when I read somewhere about someone embarassing Micro$hit by making a bug/bloat free version of Microsoft Word. Basically it was someone got pissed at how M$ Office installs tons of unnecessary crap and bloatware, and is full of bugs that they wrote their own version of MS Word that was only 1 or 2 files and only a MB or two.
I'm wondering if anyone remembers the details of this or if anyone has a link to an article about this or a link to download this non-MS Word program.

Are you possibly talking about "Yeah, Write!"
