Seriously?.... Nothing Gerald (and I work for em'). They are about as far off the radar as is Novell (and I am serious...). I only see one major focus day after day after day and that focus is to support and make money off of Redmond. I don't know who or what your sources were, but I can't fathom a rationale for IBM wanting Corel, or Corel's business. But, I believe that you heard it.
I dunno what's gonna happen to Novell and Corel, but from the landscape that I see, it don't look good. And I feel bad for the folk that got burnt by this company, the same way I do for the ones at Novell (and I was one of them).
As far as what's on IBM's mind right now? Well, you know it's CPQ/DEC, and the enterprise.
