At the time that this article was written, what you're saying was not true. I struggle to see how your response makes any sense in the context of my comment or the article. Word was not dominant, WordPerfect was, Windows was not dominant, which was the point of the article. MS-DOS was dominant, but there were lots of DOS alternatives.

And when you say "Finally see some competition" you're just demonstrating exactly what the article is talking about, discussion that sounds knowledgeable of the history, but isn't.
