update Microsoft has invested $135 million in Corel, a struggling rival in the software application market, under a new strategic relationship centered on Microsoft's so-called .Net initiative.

Corel, which recently saw its founder and former CEO Michael Cowpland abruptly resign, has been in dire financial straits since the the collapse of a proposed merger with Inprise. Under the deal with Microsoft, the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant has bought 24 million shares in the Canadian company. The purchase gives Microsoft a 24.6 percent share of the company, but without voting privileges.
