If you are in any sort of small business, your word processor is the least of your worries. Despite all of the noise about word processors, they really are the most trivial part of any software ecosystem. The more interesting and far more relevant applications are those that embed any sort of domain specific knowledge. Vertical apps are where the real small business problem is.

That's simply wrong. I've worked with small law offices in the past. The word processor is their tool to communicate with other lawyers and the government -- the very essence of their business. It inspires fierce loyalties and deep knowledge of bugs and workarounds. No other tool even comes close.
Excel handles any domain-specific stuff since the amount of data is typically tiny and, for better or for worse, everyone understands how to use a spreadsheet as a database.
