I refused using MS Word since it froze my window system if I moved the
mouse to often across the edges (to get the pointer away from the middle).
Also, if I scrolled the text and had a window that didn't cover the whole
screen the text turned into garbage. (not the content, it may already have
been in that state, but the actual characters became random noise).
This was in 1994. Can't remember the version of MS Word.
