Sir Rodney of the Single Note: IBM is having to sell SmartTweet for ~$25 less than WP. Its pretty good product too. Suite8 has been able to maintain #2 market share by a wide margin. Lowest I've seen for WP8 Upgrade was $120 - $ 20 rebate 2 months back. Currently $140 - $15 rebate. SmartSuite is street $99.99 MS has been forced? (anyway it has done it) to drop prices to maintain its share for the kludgy unwieldy Office Suite. Why do you criticize Corel so much? It is the one that "built the better mousetrap". Could it be that you have a vested interest in MSFT? WP8 can hold its own against either competitor and has a nice edge with its HTML capabilities. The next upgrade will offer 100% compatibility with the MSFT product as a user option. I happen to think this is a trivial pursuit, but one that should help move some product. My post to Mark and Gnarly did indeed restate some of the obvious as a gentle reminder that they were ignoring it or needed to explain their thinking a little better. I am sure that they did not mind my chuckles at what I consider folly. As to your question, none of them (1,2,3)will go away. As you were so kind in your wisdom to share: They are the OBVIOUS. The only alternative to paying the bills is corporate suicide. ..er Chapter ??. How would you in all of your amply acknowledged wisdom have Corel establish itself as a relevant player and in what market(s)? Please do not be vague. And could you puleeeze stop the running-on about OLAP? I think we got the message the first six times. You are preaching to the choir on OLAP.<ggg> And Rod, maybe it would help all of us here to understand a little better, ya know, if you were just to post a quick li'l ole summary of your current stock positions. Just to clarify things a little for us all. So many posts on so many threads. Leo
