Hey Phil,
Did you catch this on the Yahoo thread today? Courtesy of eagle233:
Corel back on track, says CEO
..."Sun over-promised and under-delivered," Cowpland claimed. "You could say that Sun conned the industry because there's never been a Java as promised. We took a bit of heat for that.

"The good thing about Linux is that it's out there, performing like a champion today... The Linux technology is more solid than Windows. There were onerous licensing terms."

Cowpland continued: "They [Sun] were charging $250,000 [licence fee] for something that was supposed to be open technology. It was a nice idea that never came through."
