Gerald,
Haven't found any on the wires. Did find this from right after the earnings warning. Don't think it was posted. Might be wrong. So many articles were all the same one.
<snip>One product that undoubtedly figures into the company's plan, however, is its recently launched Corel Resero, a new online analytical processing (OLAP) tool for reporting and analysis of corporate data. Resero is designed for use on corporate intranets so that users can retrieve data instantly, then analyze it and extract valuable information. It's the first product in Corel's Enterprise line of software, aimed at boosting corporate productivity.
Enterprise software may be a better bet for the company than NC products. Although there is room for Corel to grow in the NC market--which is still wide open--analysts believe the company will have to make a strong effort in order to make NCs a pivot point for the company's turnaround.
"A relatively small company like Corel will have a difficult time in the network computer market," said Rob Enderle, an analyst with Giga Information Group. "The network computer depends so much on a strong back-end product. They need to partner with someone like Sun Microsystems, or do something to succeed against the big competitors in that market, like IBM, for example."
