A little misinformation in this article. I have posted the following to the site - the comment is awaiting moderation: "FYI: WordPerfect “Office” was not an office (as in Microsoft Office) suite at all, it was a group based messaging and calendering tool. This evolved into what is known today as Novell GroupWise. WordPerfect Office was in the market first, before Microsoft introduced their suite of Word, Excel etc which they named ‘Office’. This caused huge confusion in the market and WordPerfect were in the process of renaming their Office (the email product) – the rebranding was happening – it was actually going to be called ‘Symmetry’ then came the announcement that Novell was purchasing WordPerfect. A few weeks later Novell announced that they were rebranding WordPerfect Symmetry as Novell GroupWise. 4.1 was the first Novell version – 4.0a was the previous WordPerfect Office version. Happy to talk further if you wish." |
