Here is kind of where you are right and wrong.
When they introduced 07 they kind of took 03 off the market so you
did not have much of a choice on a paid office suite.
A number of states and a few nations are insisting on an open office
compatibility that MS has resisted immensely.
Corel is now marketing a version of Word Perfect, but that power
house has now become a joke of a program.
This is one case where MS used their monopolistic market muscle to
force people into using their version and upgrade. (Many of these
clients are on contract to do so.)
I am not sure but I think 07 Office is showing about as much
penetration as Vista is, which means not as much as they would have
liked to see.
(If it were sex, the one partner would be asking is it in yet! :-( )

I can tell you've spent sooooo much time using it, demonstrating such a poor

Windows 7.
If the market agrees with you, MS will be punished with reduced sales and
consumers switching to alternatives, just as the market is doing to IE. If
not, well then, you'll have refined the angry crank persona just that much
more.
