Sorry Corel. You Loose!

Here are the results from ZDnet. (PC Mag and a zillion other mags) You'll notice that the 3rd try again on Microsoft's part finally got it right. You had a chance Mike, but you tried to grow a great niche based company into something it wasn't and shouldn't have been. PS: Reading the book, and I laughed my ass off flying past the part where Mike invested in a the original Corel to sell Laser printers. Hey Mike. Ever heard of a business plan?
