Ah... yes! Cobalt, another credible company that actually executed rather than just offered cheap talk. Look what Cowpland is saying then look what Cobalt and Red Hat have done. Corel had some college kid lined up to tout the Netwinder which goes to show you how inept these guys are. How many months/years did they have before they "released" the Netwinder? Everybody quit, and they dumped the effort. They had zero customers lined up. It was a complete failure. A total failure. How can you say "wait" when we've been "waiting" years for results? The only bright side is that somebody other than Corel owns the product. If Corel's botching up of Netwinder and the Java Office product don't convince you that Cowpland is nothing more than a mouthpiece for empty rhetoric then what will? I have to say this in the hope that someday it sinks in: Corel is tiny. This fantasy that they are a medium, let alone large or giant, software company is a complete joke. Not even the Cowplands really believe that fiction that for some unknown reason keeps popping up in press articles.
