It is deliberately crippled software that is PURPOSELY not compatible between versions. Any IT person will tell you that users will ship a document created by it and need it 'upgraded' to Word (or whatever). You end up searching all over for the exact version of Works used to create the document and then installing it, opening the document, cutting and pasting... Personally, I consider Works to be Malware. Microsoft should be sued for ever creating it. Works is the most abhorent of Microsoft’s ‘products’.

The only versions I have ever used were bundled, so although not technically "free" they were included in the cost of the computer. If the compatibility issues are not gone, free or not, Works has no appeal to me.
