>>>The problem for Corel is the Microsoft Marketing Machine. It takes creativity in promotion, advertising, and mass communication, as well as quality products to begin to chip away at Microsoft's domination. <<<

MicroSoft's Domination for large corporations these days is to standardize on a single set of application to save time and money.
If your job is on the line who are you going to go with MSFT or Corel.
I guess the saying noone got fired for chosing IBM can now include MicroSoFT. Bell Canada recently converted all its applications to Microsoft.

REDMOND, Wash., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT) today announced that Battelle has deployed 6,000 copies of Microsoft(R) Office 97 companywide. Battelle recognized that by
adopting Office 97 as its company standard it would reduce its total cost of owning and administering productivity software. In addition, by implementing a custom toolkit built with Word 97 to speed
completion of standard documents, Battelle has saved 1,000 staff-hours per day that were previously spent managing communications.
