I think we should not demo WordPerfect. Just my opinion, but I've found it's
really lacking.
Corel has made a nice first try, but they really should have released
WPOffice2K as demo or a beta. It crashes and hangs continually, it's slow,
there's no way to launch with command line args specifying the file to open
(which means you can't hack .mailcap/.mimetypes to handle attachments), and a
host of other problems.
Other than that, it's not bad ;)
