Do you mean Microsoft Works[1]? Or were they more commonly shipping the full version of MS Office with new PCs in the UK?

The company I worked for at the time were pretty cost conscious so there was no way they would buy additional Wordperfect or Lotus 1-2-3 licenses on top of that, even though some of the staff much preferred those products.
