Both Inprise and Corel will head nowhere... A bad merger with little overlap - one a development tools vendor and the other a consumer shrink wrapped vendor. The bulk of the Corel customers are consumer ended - where's the commonality to tap into?

Corel is a distribution vehicle for Debian Linux as well as a office suite vendor. Their photo/drawing tool lineup pales in comparison with Adobe.

Inprise is a struggling tools vendor still living the legacy of its DBase days. The only thing to keep it a float is a new business model tapping into the Linux market - surely its Windows market is weak compared to Microsoft.

CORL will see $8 and INPR $6. Pray for another buyout of the two down the line.
