In recent news, Corel announced that HP, the world's largest PC manufacturer, Dell, the second-largest, and Sony have all agreed to preinstall WordPerfect 10 and Quattro Pro 10 on some of their computer lines. NOTE: OEM bundles are all customized to the client's specifications, so they vary, but all will include WP10 and QP 10 installed on their machines. The deals made with the manufacturers could ultimately add 5 million units to Corel's sales, increasing its worldwide user base of 22 million by 25%. Cost differential between Microsoft's Office and Works Suites, as well as Microsoft's Office licensing terms is helping fuel the trend to switch software vendors.
