Seems Corel wasn't doing too well, so they got some money from Microsoft. 
There seems to be a court case right now about how the money deal came 
about.  And it might explain why Corel dropped their Mac product and WP has 
almost become a Word clone.  Although they still do have a lot of the extra 
features that Word has never had.

However, there is hope on the horizon since I understand they now make a 
version for Linus users.  I am off to investigate.
