Great review of Corel. I have to admit that you are probably right in estimating that the generic player, the Brand X in the Office arena is Corel. The only way to sell the product is to either be cheaper that Microsoft, or by providing a substantially better product. In the latter case the product should be priced higher than Microsoft's, since (and this is a first hand observation) higher priced software is generally perceived as better software. Hopefully the Corel brand name would not form an obstruction there... Finally, perhaps it's just me, but this company is starting to get dangerously close to Borland a couple of years back - big takeovers, bad management, direct competition with MS, heavy price cutting... The barbarians finally just barely survived in a niche market, not creating value for shareholders. -Alex
