Hey, hadn't seen this on the list.  Apparently Dell and HP have switched 
from M$ Office to Word perfect on their offerings.

Scares me a bit though.  You wonder if M$ is behind it?  That is, to get 
them leverage out of the current legal issues with the final states.

I could easily see M$ putting pressure on Dell and HP to do this, then o 
down the road, both admit, it's not selling, so we're back to office.

Conspiracy, I know, but has M$ not done worse in the past??

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
