Mike, No "setback" here. This move is positive. Use scarce resources wisely. I much prefer Mr. Bean's idea of Corel FOCUSING on "core(l) competencies." Profits and stock increases lie ahead in this direction.
Right now, the emerging NC market is young, small, specialized, and already competitive. No one is more aware of this than you.
My take: FOCUS ON THE SUITE(S). (Vanni No. 3, I like the plural form "SUITES", as the best variation of your tiring parody of the "message to management.")
Last night, I used Corel Photo Paint to scan and touch up an image. Cake! I then imported it to WP 8, mixed with text, manipulated further, and printed it beautifully, and in top quality, all within WP8. All was easy, smooth, and the end result quite impressive. As I used this terrific software (no bias here), and thinking about Corel's challenges, I can't help being fully convinced, that the products are superb, and only need some "magic" in several key marketing areas to generate public excitement. If Corel fails to move this stuff, look out below, and shame on management.
I guess this is all yesterday's news.
