CMP's Windows Magazine finds 'serious flaws' in MS Office 97 Due to file
compatibility problems, problems with e-mail system lock-ups and a host
of other issues, CMP's "Windows Magazine" has removed Microsoft's Office
97 and Outlook from its WinList of recommended products. This is the
first time in the publication's five-year history that any product has
been taken off the WinList due to late-surfacing bugs and design flaws.
Fred Langa, vice president and editorial director of CMP's PC group,
said the products will be reevaluated when the problems are resolved.
