My. my the green eyed monster is alive and well. Actually I have little use for word, tho I do have it, at least the 2000 version. Maybe you forget that that bloat-ware is actually written by M$. I have not done a clean install since OS X 10.1 came out, and I have moved my entire system to 4 different computers, only doing the software update.
Try doing that with Windows. And I don't recall a crash of any kind. So go and whine to someone else, I have heard it all for years. I just keep on doing work on my computer, while you guys work on yours. I have Windows machines, I am have parallels running Windows on my MacIntel, though I have no idea why. it is an ugly system fraught with problems. Fortunately i can just make a disk image of the Windows System and just replace it with a fresh copy when it crashes.
A little less green eyed than when we last spoke. After two years in the Mac saddle I only find minor annoyances.
