I believe that was a direct excerpt from the article. Kurt will always leave his own comments without italics. Perhaps, the person being quoted intended to mean it in regards to office productivity which would be better served by a more efficient and less error prone operating platform to run on. It may even be mission critical for certain types of offices that use a lot of suite-type programs in their daily functions. Regards, Wisam

...Although that version of WordPerfect was less than a stellar success, Derek Burney, Corel's senior vice-president of engineering, says it was a productive project because it gave Corel some valuable insight into Java's strengths and weaknesses. "We learned that at the time, Java wasn't necessarily ready for full-scale application development," he says. "It's the kind of thing that unless you try it, you won't know if something is doable. It paid off handsomely in that we learned quite a bit from that experience." plesman.com Click on October 19
