I'd argue that given the rise of stuff like Google Docs, desktop word processor software is somewhat less relevant than it was around the time Word 2003 was state of the art. (Also that Android is the most deployed user-facing OS now)

And Libreoffice (and before it Openoffice.org or whatever it was) has made Microsoft Office even less relevant.
(Was Word 2003 the last version before they went with their ribbon interface?)
