>A big part of why Office gained ground was that it was offered cheaper than its competitors. I remember that MS kicked off an office suite price war and that Borland and Lotus matched the low prices with their suites. MS Office still outsold Borland and Lotus when prices were the same. Borland Quattro & Approach and Lotus Ami Pro word processors were not enough of a differentiator. MS Word and Excel were also the biggest sellers on Apple Mac and obviously, there was no Windows os there.
