The computer manufacturer is buying the wordperfect suite very low and selling it very low-and the wordperfect suite is very good. perhaps it is eMachines. why should consumer pay for microsoft word and office when wordperfect suite is comparable. perhaps it is microworxz. it is unfortunate that people switched to ms windows and didn't realize they could still be as well off using wordperfect as Word-and then corel could have gotten some real folding money for its sales. will many people pay for wordperfect-more full-bodied versions or upgrades- when the basic edition ain't bad-unless you are running a real law office or whatever?
