"Corel is one of the best-positioned companies in the Linux universe."

Things have truly become insane when analysts start spouting nonsense such as this. If you are able to overlook the fact that Corel has been struggling just to stay solvent for many years now - you have to ask what Corel software might possibly find widespread use on Linux servers? It's desktop software - such as Wordperfect, Quattro Pro, etc.? I find this hard to swallow - I just don't see a big market for running these applications on servers. Corel's only hope would be for Linux to catch on as a desktop operating system - which isn't going to happen anytime soon.
