Justice Department Disproves Own Case Against Microsoft, Buys WordPerfect
from the good-for-them dept
The Justice Department, which spent many years going after Microsoft for anti-trust violations, is apparently buying word processing software from Corel. In some ways, this is amusing, as it serves to prove Microsoft's own point. Even if they do hold a dominating position in software, there are always competitors nipping at their heels.

they win either way
Scratch "See? Even DOJ admits we make the best word processing software."
Go with "See? Even DOJ admits there's viable competition in the word processing business."

Err, WordPerfect is historically a niche product in the legal biz, partly because there's a massive legacy of docs in that format.
This doesn't have anything to do with general competition but with the same network effects that have given Word an 85% share elsewhere, so you may be disproving your own argument as well.
