I've been going through this thread and I can't believe the negativism on Corel. I've been using the WordPerfect Suite for a number of years, and it never ceases to delight me. I saw a survey a couple months ago on office suites and WordPerfect Office received the highest user satisfaction rating, well above Microsoft Office. Regardless of questions about the CEO, the bottom line is that Corel makes terrific software products. The Red Herring article that Peter links to is amazingly one-sided and contains obvious factual errors. It's enough to make you think there are people with a financial interest in trashing the stock. If you want to get an alternative point of view read the responses to that article: boards.redherring.com@^641@.ee6c133

The article states:

"Mr. Cowpland's pursuit of instant gratification by capitalizing on the Linux hype is as transparent as the open-source code he purports to worship."

But Corel has been working on their own version of Linux since BEFORE RedHat went public! Before the hype! Did this guy do any research before writing the article?
