<<preferred WP8suite>>I agree, however just like there are better OS's, it doesn't matter in the long run. Marketing and the money to drive it, will sell anything to anyone, even garbage. I do not belive however, that just because MS offers a graphics package that people will immediately throw out all their comfort and training on a well established tool in order to learn a new unproven tool, just because it has MS's name on it. It will take MS time to capture market share. CorelDraw has too much name and reputation. It is THE standard for now. Greg

I'm telling you that after trying both suite I preferred WP8suite pro 10 X over Office. That's fine, so it's your contention that Corel is going to get crushed in the consumer graphics market regardless of how Microsoft's soon-to-be-released product stacks up. I disagree with your basis but your conclusion is correct. BTW, what specifically was better about WP8 over Office? Could you type faster? Did you have 12,000,000 instead of 10,000,000 fonts or something? Give it a rest, it's history. Look, Microsoft is going after Corel, BIG TIME, with the release of this graphics suite next month. They aren't toying around, they have Corel in their sights and they're going for it. I knew denial would immediately set in and as I can tell by many of the posts, it has.
