Word has "revision marks" -- a system of keeping track of editorial changes to a document, who made them, when they were made, etc. An editor can easily step through each edit in a document, look at both the pre- and post-edit versions of a sentence, and certify the one of two (or of three or of four) versions which works best in context.
The people that give you this solution, gave you the problem at the first place. If Word was not using binary files and used text files like OpenOffice or latex, you would be able to do versioning with your faivorite versioning software. You wouldn't have to just wait for WordXP to support it.
Well is you use OpenOffice and and an X server with truetype fonts support I don't see any other reason not to use it instead of msoffice, than that if you need to send a document to someone you will have to save it as msword file and some features you used might be left out.
Well the most bloodless upgrade you can do to a laptop is remove windows XX it came with and
install a fine debian linux on it...:) Better performance for no extra cost...
1) Realize the causes of the problem and stop the irrational behavior towards other nations
2) Response by magnifying that behavior and feedback the whole problem

Actualy key press, move movement, etc are not affected by latency, because it can be localy predicted. (See Quake and other network games)

p.s. And you get to keep the warranty!
Forgive me for being foolish but I think that we should take notice of actions and reactions, it is the only way to deal with problems
The u.s. has two options now :
1) Realize the causes of the problem and stop the irrational behavior towards other nations
2) Response by magnifying that behavior and feedback the whole problem
Let all hope they "Choose wisely"...
