Crystal, Wordperfect is filler for free-stuff CDs that ship with a bargain-basement computers and motherboards. Corel botched up their Java effort and canned it, so you aren't making any sense there. There are dozens of Linux vendors and several more on the way. It's a free operating system and Corel is simply riding the bandwagon. Microsoft could have Linux in a couple of weeks if they so desired. Now, Quattro Pro is that badly named spreadsheet from the middle 80's developed by Borland. Paradox is also an ex-Borland product: a badly named and incredibly hoaky database. As for Dragon speech recognition, that's not Corel's product. Sure sounds like a lot of washed-up products to me. Well, OK, they haven't washed up yet: their products are dead in the water and bobbing close to shore. Corel is simply a very, very bad gamble. You would be better off with expired lottery tickets.
