Before MS termed the Suite OFFICE it was non existent. Plenty of people
use the tools included in the exisitng suites for personal use so I
still dont see your point.

IMNSHO PP is much better suited than Word for making Posters etc, Word's
formatting leaves MUCH to be desired. Still not really the point, as
above people use these applications at home for NON office use. Are
there better applications for the job? Sure. People still use Outlook
Express to post to usenet and it isnt suited to that task either.
