Re: did you know that corporate customers of IBM desktops get offered SmartSuite for $4? So tell me why those customers, on the whole, just format the hard disks and install MS Office?

Care to provide data to backup your claim? Apparently, MS Office gets 94% of the revenue in the Office market (read it just yesterday - should be able to find it, if needed). If IBM is selling SmartSuite for just $4 and MSFT's Office costs about two orders of magnitude more, than the MSFT's share of desktops has to be very considerably less than 94%.

Something does not compute here.
