Oh Randy, please, give me a break. Lighten up. Why are you taking  
this as some personal insult?  I said in my post that I don't mind  
Word 2004. I certainly prefer it to Word 2003 which is what all my  
colleagues use. Word is slow on Intel Macs mostly because it's  
running in emulation. Period. Hack and tweak it all you want. It's  
not going to change it into a universal binary.

99.9% of users aren't going to read your tips and jump through hoops  
to get acceptable performance. They expect it out of the box. And as  
I said in my post, for many (who keep their applications up to date),  
the Office applications are among the last bit of non-native code  
they have to deal with...and it shows.
