Corel made a play for a piece of the Web 2.0 pie on Tuesday, releasing WordPerfect Lightning in beta, a free, compact version of its standard word processing suite that combines both online and offline functionality. The company is referring to the product as a Google Writely, Adobe Reader, and Microsoft OneNote competitor rolled into one. At 16MB, the entire program can be placed on a USB stick or burned to CD to allow for maximum portability.

Supposedly they're adding ODF support into the next full version of WordPerfect... so maybe the final version of Lightning will also support it.

If they do, they will then become viable to me. My customers and I have really seen how valuable our data is to have it at the mercy of anyone vendor.
