<good 'ol "windows based software" is still best vehicle in the computing industry for "growing revenues.">

Yes. But Corel is not very good at this. Unloaded its educational products, consumer products, the stuff IMSI got... just bailed out.

"Me-too" Windows software is clearly not the way to go. The creative juices that brought about Draw have dried up. WordPerfect, Draw, Ventura et al don't make enough $$$. Not enough insight to come up with innovative new killer apps. Think about it. What was the most recent highly successful prgram that Corel initiated and developed in house? Not enough marketing and PR expertise to launch a demand building campaign (and not enough budget anymore either).

At Remagen did the allies burn the bridge after they crossed? Cowpland is burning Corel's bridges behind as he orders the troops forward.
