The first version of Word I actually owned (as opposed to used) was Word 2.0
for Windows, acquired in 1992. I used WordStar, XyWrite, WordPerfect, and
assorted other stuff before that (not to mention very primitive stuff back
in the sixties programming IBM mainframes), but my experience with Word is
all in Windows, so we're pretty much even on that score.
