Corel's revenue in the 'Linuxspace' is miniscule and declining. Would you care to document that statement? If their presence is miniscule in the first place, it would seem illogical that it is "declining" to zero. And that isn't jibing with what I'm hearing at my local CompUSA here in the DC area where Corel for Linux is holding its own. And we've already discussed Star Office. It isn't NEARLY complete enough to compete with Corel's offerings and capabilities from what I've heard and seen. And it's free to boot. Not much revenue to be derived there. And it's a new product that won't fly with many IT managers looking for some assurances and familiarity. But I would agree that the Gnome issue gives me some concerns long-term. However, I think the battle lines are still being drawn and it can go either way.
