Corel problem ist that they dont have any OEM deals with
Compaq, Dell and Gateway and most major vendors.
They should make OEM deals with them at ANY price
for "Office Suite 8" and "Pro".

In Germany Vobis (around 500.000 Computers year Europe) bundles with HP Printers the old "Office Suite 7".
but must Vobis Computers are bundled with Word97 and MS Works.
Most useres would be glad to get a full "Office Suite 8" instead
of MS Works and Word97.

Additional they should give schools and students the Office Suite for free to improve their user base.

If they cant sell more Suites than today,
they should reduce the price.

CR, There was certainly no "brand loyalty" that Corel has anticipated with that transaction. Mr. Sylvester, where are the foot soldiers?

WP8 Pro is a fine Suite despite some very minor things, and there was absolutely no reason for Battell not to have gone with WP, except for the "Microsoft Effect." Powerful stuff indeed.
