WPS Office seems to have cornered the market for MS Office alternatives, i.e. WPS runs in Linux, Wordperfect doesn't.

I think OpenOffice, Google Docs and Appple’s suite would beg to differ. I don’t think I’ve seen an install in two decades.

I think they're asking about the assertion that "WPS Office seems to have cornered the market for MS Office alternatives", which would be pretty surprising. Libreoffice, Google Docs, and iWork all exist, and all seem more popular.

That's not even slightly a credible citation for usage/popularity stats. :/
