The promise of Linux to a lot of people is very real. It is hope for control, better security, and an alternative to MS Windows that makes it very attractive. A lot of people are coming to feel that the MS Windows route has been overly manipulated by commercial interests, and this is a chance to break free.

Now that office applications are starting to show up, Linux looks much more attractive as a useful medium.Corel has ported Worperfect 8.0 and is supplying an office environment with their Linux for example. It is an excellent time to look into this world, and maybe put up a machine to run in the linux world. I have seen plaudits for Corel and also Caldera. Both are supposed to be fairly easy to bring up. (No harder than Windows)

I used Borland products for years and always found them to be excellent.. I trust that INPR will have enough vision to make good strategies in this market so have gone long on them also.
