I don't know what was going through their heads that they could even entertain a merger with Corel given the dismal track record of that company. Aside from an 80's graphics package and some shrink-wrapped office bloatware that the company bought from Novell, the only thing notable coming from Corel is shameless rhetoric. It's a good thing we've enjoyed near exponential growth in this industry because that's allowed Corel to reach bottom and stay there. It's astonishing how little revenue Corel brings in given the size of the market. They've been treading water for years and filling in the gaps with failed development efforts like their Network Computer, Java Office Suite and a slew of side investments that went nowhere. The CEO of Corel doesn't have an ounce of credibility left, not a single ounce. Certainly not from what I can see in the press and certainly not with me.
