Sounds "Black or white to me". Rod have you given thought that each path taken in your "fork in the road philosophy" could carry you to extintion?

There are sensible gray areas (many choices of roads and paths to follow). Most markets have a niche. Most niches can make a company money. Corel needs to establish the market niche and not attempt to waste money capturing market share that money available could not buy. The "ever-dwindling WP upgrade" is not disputed. This was a result of past factors not future factors.

1)Microsoft Monopoly
2)Novel's short years of WP erosion
3)Corels ineffective promoting

Promoted properly in an efficient and cost sensitive manner (Sylvester style), The most money can be made while retaining market share for future upgrades and returning profit to us shareholders today.

Are you a shareholder Rod? Do you like Mike? If not, Why?
