I think the Corel fiasco cancels out all of the positive developments you have suggested he is responsible for. I would also add that the MS licensing deal was probably a small fraction of what a competent negotiator would have been able to achieve. Think how much they could have had? You're talking about a guy who was going to completely give up control of the company and twenty years of technology to a time tested loser with no money and a crashing revenue stream. Based on what? On some hype inflated stock price jacked up by a lot of hollow noise about Linux, that's what. Sorry Charlie, I have no confidence, none, after that bungled effort. This guy just about got you all fleeced by a guy who carries his sheers in full view. ANY analyst could have told him that, in the event he couldn't figure it out from the ample evidence himself -- and apparently he couldn't.
