I thought they went out of business in 1999?

NONE of these companies have a chance at unseating MS Office. What an idiotic thing to write?

NONE of them are businesses nor taking viable revenue. Combine all of their revenues together and you get $5mm. MSFT has thousands of clients that pay them millions of dollars every quarter.

The comparison is a joke.
