>>Corel recently filed a complaint against the Department of Defense for switching over from WordPerfect to MSFT Word even though Corel came in about $9 million less on the tender (the DOD was their largest client). $9 million, $10 million who cares ?. The DOD put up the defense that the suite of products from Corel was incompatable with some of their software. >>> It is just like you to leave out the important facts about this case. The main reason why Corel did not get the deal was because they did not have enough time with the Wordperfect product line since they had just bought it from Novell. Yet, this is old news. I believe that it was reported that Corel's suite outshipped Microsoft's in June and July. Impressive even given that it was a brand new product. Futhermore, Corel is planning a new licensing scheme that will totally undercut Microsoft's profitability on their suites. In fact, Microsoft is wondering how Corel will make any money on this new deal. -Eddie
