About ten years ago, WP did dominate the legal office market.  MS made
some real efforts to get in here, some fair (improving the way they
count words) and some not so fair (bundling Office with the PC).
That, and the much-shrunk fortunes of WP, now Corel, made lawyers
rethink their "choices".  

Personally, I believe that OO makes great sense for lawyers.  After
all, if you had documents that you might need to read _decades_ from
now, would you want them locked up in MS's proprietary DOC format?
And don't even think about Palladium.
