You have it backwards. People use MS Word and want it to integrate
seamlessly into an e-mail client, database, etc. People are not
'forced' to use MS Office. They use it because it is the best word
processor in existence and it can be easily integrated into other
applications easily.

For the record, I hear more complaints regarding Thunderbird than I do
concerning MS Outlook (the latest version). The 2007 version of
Outlook is no longer relevant. Comparing deprecated versions of any
software is a Sisyphean task.
