Rod, you should recheck your dates. In 1990, WordPerfect was still WordPerfect, a privately held company which (deservedly) owned the lion's share of the wordprocessing market. It was still the wordprocessor of choice when purchased by Novell many years later. Quatro Pro and Paradox were owned by Borland until even more recently.

WordPerfect's first iteration for Windows was indeed a disaster, but the reason for this would best be put directly at Microsoft's door and the magical, mystical patches it wrote to the OS. Hint: DOS (or Windows) isn't done until (fill in the blank) won't run . . .
