Pay up, folks
...Why aren't more corporate users switching to
cheaper substitutes? Because Microsoft's
software has become so ubiquitous that getting rid
of it would be like pulling the concrete out from
under your skyscraper. Your report in Word
may, for instance, contain an Excel spreadsheet
that regularly queries a Microsoft SQL server for
data from every division of a company. Would
the Corel savings cover the costs of deinstalling
one kind of software, installing another,
converting files, testing the newly programmed
system for software conflicts, retraining? And will
Corel be around in five years?
