Unfortunately, this important review of WP Office 2000 in PC Week comes out as a negative for Corel due to the "Business Sense" sidebar.

"Once a company adopts [an office application suite], there's little chance of switching except for an overwhelming reason - and Corel hasn't delivered one."

"In the long run, however, the close marriage of Windows, Microsoft BackOffice and Microsoft Office may force managers to use Microsoft's application suite for all their Windows users - whether WordPerfect users like it or not."

It seems patently unfair to me, in an evaluation of business sense, to omit any mention of cost, the one factor in favor of Corel.
