Kurt, a CD costs about $1.00 to print so why doesn't Corel slap WP on there for $2.00 and double their money? If customers want support they can pay for the $20 version and Corel makes 20 X it's original investment. What WP needs is relevancy and you achieve that with ubiquity. Once you have an established market revenue opportunities start beating a path to your door and Corel should look to Sun for a lesson on that. Netscape would be three or four times its current revenues had they given away Navigator from day one. If Corel wants more evidence of this successful approach they should talk to the Symantec Visual Cafe folks. They launched that compiler with two free tickets to Hawaii and sold it for less than a third the cost of Microsoft's offering. They now enjoy a substantial following. They need to be relevant in this space and right now Corel is anything but.
