Has anyone with good knowledge of the tools business had any thought about what the big customer's of INPR's tools might be thinking about what they have to face under the receivership of CORL?

SUNW, ORCL, MSFT, IBM etc. would they still have the same relationship with Corel? Isn't a good deal of that $250,000,000 from MSFT fees? Wouldn't one assume that MSFT will not renew any future fees under Corel? And might the same be true of some of the others?

It seems to me that Fuller and the BOD's put an awful lot of faith in Linux taking off big time? They are going to have to explain and sell those plans to the shareholders at that meeting without the help of share price of either CORL or INPR.

I imagine they have hopes that the DOJ is going to give Linux help in digging into MSFT's world?

Finally if Linux will become big enough to make a big dent into MSFT's world there is plenty of time to get into companies who will benefit and especially INPR, CORL or CORL/INPR whatever it may become. RHAT seems a better choice for that type of rebound.

INPR was the bell of the ball who went with the filthiest guy there. Now their only hope is to become a good looking tramp!
