I don't know if the merger is a net pro or con or neutral. Based on fundamentals and futures one can argue one or the other's companies shareholders got screwed or a windfall. My just put together 4 display trading and stock information analysis system. watman.com hey you will find a pic of corl technicals.... I briefly spoke with the imprise folks at Linux world and the plus if any is that borland's jave development expertise may help corls attempts to javasize corl office 2000 if it ever is really released for Linux. But the poor choices made in the archetecture (wine) method of porting the Office apps to Linux may be a problem. Imprise lost lots of doe in past quarters as has corl. When I visited the Corl booth the presentation was focusing on ease of install of Corl Linux and not of showing office apps of windows 2000 running on Linux. Their is little money in selling a linux distribution. Selling Linux as a vechicle to move an office suite is where to make the money. But no doubt corl now has a new story to tell and volitility is profit. 25% is 150 million and corl has 10% which is 15 million. But that 15 million is sales and not profit. Bob Young (CEO Redhat) estimated that Linux would change the 5 billion dollar OS market to 500 million. So that's how I "loosely" couple 25% to 150 million. Tom Watson tosiwmee
