Debian is a free distribution of Linux that Corel uses because they don't have their own -- dozens of companies do have their own legitimate Linux distributions

What exactly would you call a company's own legitimate Linux distribution? As far as I know Corel has contributed more to Debian than any other company. If you can, why don't you name a dozen of the "dozens" of legitimate linux distributions you speak of, and then carefully explain for us what it is that makes one "legitimate" and another not?

Next, please pray tell why you call Wine (which stands for) W<ine>I<s>N<ot an>E<mulator>, an emulator? Perhaps you should read this, Rod... "Corel's Contributions to the Wine Project" - linuxtoday.com

Lastly, if possible without being too self referential, could you define what "lying sack of sh-t" is? I don't think ignorance applies anymore.

... realize that if you can't make it on Windows (which 90% of business have right now) after 10 years and ultra-low pricing, then there is something more fundamentally wrong. I hate to tell you this, but it's not the case that everybody is just stupid and buying inferior products for more money

You should try not to be so hard on Inprise. I realize their failure of a second rate C compiler and buggy, and also-ran design environments like Delphi were clearly inferior to Microsoft products and didn't get squat market share compared to MS VC or MS VB but I don't think this means there is something fundamentally wrong. Nevermind. Perhaps you are right on this one.
