Man With Broom writes "Just when you thought they were riding off into the sunset, they come back into town and start hanging around the mayor's oldest girl... WordPerfect 12 was described today on news.com, with Corel claiming compatibility for the small business user. But can they withstand the juggernaut? And what of OpenOffice?"

    Huh? Isn't OO.o the juggernaut? If I want applications that actually work in a responsive manner I go with GOffice.

    Just because you prefer the old and cryptic, don't spout off as an expert... your ilk may not need Word for your work, but the features in Word work for most of us.

    I hate MS as much as the next guy for their business practices, but at least Word provides a needed implementation.

    Some of us do need more than Wordpad.
