- I'm going to preface this by saying I'm very proficient in both WordPerfect & MS Word - both Windows & DOS versions of each. - And I just read in one of the articles that MS has like 80% of the Word & Spreadsheet market. - Me, personally, I hate WordPerfect. But my previous employer was a MSFT-hater & you know the story. - The DOS version of WordPerfect was good. - Anyway, I love MS Word for Windows. Was surprised to see that Word controls 80% of its category. And I truly believe that it's b/c it's a better product. - My point: MSFT can't possibly coerce anyone in to using its Word product; yet it has 80% of the market. And its accused of doing so with the browser; and only has 40 or 50% of that market. What will these Clintonites dream up next?
