They were the first to unify with word processing, spread sheets, desktop publishing, etc. You used to have to learn how to do things for each one. Like underlining might be one command or colour on one, a different one on another. It was tedious and cumbersome.
Word Perfect was the undisputed King of word processing. Microsoft came along with Works and their Office software and you would do the same thing in Word as you would Excel, Outlook, Power Point, etc. It greatly enhanced the user experience. They killed Word Perfect with Word. Almost nobody used WP anymore, anywhere.
Some of you may remember Real Player, Load TV, etc. When just trying to get a window to open or close was a pain. Every software had it's own way of doing things and you ended up with mystery meat navigation. It was awful.
Now, They are not only combining the user level integration, but the behind the scenes too. Everything is going 64 bit only, DirectX 12, etc. I think for the greatest part this will only enhance productivity and efficiency. It's also the first Real behind the scenes change for PC since Vista. (Window 7 is just Vista.1, Windows 8 and 8.1 are just gussied up Windows 7, etc.)
Bring it on!
