No, I have actually stayed away from comments about their lifestyle because that's their business. I see the shallow insecurity of an attention-starved childhood. I know there are books on what drives the sort of elvis-like garishness and tackiness we see in the couple, but it's not my field. Apparently they've convinced themselves that jealousy is at the root of criticism, another clinical response according to the experts.

Anyway, you've dragged an opinion out of me on that score, but like I said it's their business. It is relevant to me that they behave as though they were in a large successful company versus a piddly little company boxing up a couple million dollars with of '80s bloatware and stuffing retail channels with it once a year. So go ahead and invest in the empty rhetoric but be forewarned that they've done nothing but burn people with loud rhetoric followed by no results.

Corel is just a follower of bandwagons that are already full when they get there. Somehow they manage to talk up a storm on Java, Linux or whatever, while watching hundreds of other companies leave them in the dust behind the wagon. I think it's because they wait until it's too late; they wait until the technology hits the mainstream press then start acting like they've been with it all along. So the public gets the idea they have some sort of opportunity when all they have is a bunch of idle chatter.
