Age is kind of important due to the fact that old software does not have security fix. The reason why we do not want to run Windows 98SE is because of the fact that no more security fix for Windows 98SE. > Most things will still read Word 2 files OK I think - > although it may be a decade or so since I actually tried I used Word 97 first and then tried Word 6. Word 97 is way better than Word 6 IMHO. Take note that Word 97 is a 32bit application whereas Word 6 is a 16bit application. But if you only have license for Word 6 and it is fine for you, then it is a good idea to keep using Word 6.
