If it weren’t for this acquisition, I would not have known about Writely. Breaking the hold MS has with Ofﬁce can only be a good thing—I have stuck with the WordPerfect Suite because I cannot ﬁgure out how to use Word. (For instance, that whole paragraph-changes-margin-and-font-thing when you hit return makes little sense to me.) If Writely is more logical, and that isn’t hard to be, then it may well get converts left, write, and centre (misspelling intended).

One of the most interesting views on "good enough" comes from Clayton Christensen's Innovator's Dilemma book (and subsequent work). Key point: as products get better and better, they often overshoot what most users need, so something that does less (and costs less) can disrupt the market leader.
