DEK: Corel is going to chapter 11 under their own steam. Once again it is not the duty of MSFT to keep its competitors in business. Corel has failed because Corel's management has failed- full stop. Many software companies (in the 10's of thousands) have survived within the the Windows dominated market. It is all too often becoming the accepted excuse that "MSFT did us in" which is no more than corporate whining and why MSFT has been put in the position that they have been put in this very day. For instance Quicken has thrived even though MSFT has expressed a great desire to overcome them in their own space. Now should MSFT be disallowed from bringing out financial applications and mimicking Intuit's offerings? Where then would Intuit's competition be? JFD
