Good call, Mike. Years ago my office ran on SCO UNIX (intel box) and we used (then Novell) Word Perfect for Unix - don't know if they made a Solaris flavor. I like SUNW moving into the PC arena. However, Darwin won't constitute a serious alternative to Wintel PCs until more applications are available. As we both remember from the endles discussions on the Corel thread, MSFT earns huge revenues with obscene margins from their Office suite. Word Perfect would certainly be a big step in making Darwin a viable alternative for PC users, and it would generate high margin revenus in its own right. Pierre
