The US Justice Department will be buying $13.2 million USD worth of Corel's WordPerfect word processing software over Microsoft's Word (see the story from ABC News here).
This may not be as much a slap against MS as it recognizes that WP is still king in the legal world. As I've said before, while we are slowly converting to Word, many employees here are more comfortable using WP than Word.
That said, diversity is usually good and I'm glad the very people who are suing MS don't use their word processor to write their briefs (although it would be pretty cool if they did - ed.). Insert disclaimer here.

The irony is that the people who slapped MS because of it's monopoly proove that that monopoly isn't actually working.
