I guess it's a testament to how quickly things change in the world of software you can dominate the world for years, only to be relegated to little more than a dimly remembered footnote in computing history a decade later. The software is still limping along, barely, under the auspices of Corel corporation, as WordPerfect Office X4. I remember it well the very concept of word processing was synonymous with WordPerfect.Īnd now I can't even recall the last time I encountered a WordPerfect document, much less anyone who still uses WordPerfect. I'll always remember WordPerfect as the quintessential white text on blue screen application.įor a period from about 1985 to 1992, WordPerfect was the most popular word processing program in the world on virtually every computing platform.
