Thumbs down About Microsoft Works Word Processor (that which I hate).
I'm not much of a fan of the word processor that came with Vista. I was wondering if there is an update that makes the word processor better; or, if not, is there a different processor that you guys can recommend to me?

Thanks!

Kelly_Chartier,

I have been pleased with AbiWord 2.6.2, which is a freeware based word processor similar to Windows, but a little bit better. Here's the link.

Depending on what your needs are you might also consider the free office suite 'Open Office' which is fully compatible with Microsoft's 'Word', 'Excel' and 'Powerpoint'.
It's the full blown suite, whereas 'Abiword' is a very well regarded word processor.
