If that were true we'd all still be running Word Perfect on CP/M!
Again you miss the obvious. If Word were not orders of magnitude more
useful and capable than WordPerfect on CP/M, we might still be using
WordPerfect albeit on Vista. But that is not the case and WordPerfect
is dead as a dodo.
AFAIR, WordPerfect on CP/M was particularly useless because it did not
even exist. As opposed to, say, WordStar on CP/M.
I think you are correct. But the point is valid even if you substitute
WordPerfect on MS-DOS.
