Actually there is an interesting case in Korea, where a combination of 
nationalistic sentiment and a hatred of Microsoft has led to a situation 
where the majority of Koreans use the homegrown word processor HWP 
(Hangul Word Processor--running on Windows, of course). I am still 
amazed by the fact that virtually everything my Korean colleagues send 
me is written in this.
