Heres one for the FWIW department. Assuming the role of a potential word processing/office suite customer at my local Future Shop and London Drugs (both large outlets here in Vancouver), I queried my randomly appearing and non too articulate sales persons. Both seemed somewhat more enthusiastic about Wordperfect than Word, i.e., steered me there first and lauded the quality and the voice recognition add on. (Word was two or three times cost depending on package.) Both clerks acknowledged that the majority (Microsoft loyalists) bought Word but that Wordperfect was selling OK too. Couldn't get too much specifics. FWIW!
