LinuxWorld keynotes lack inspiration ....Dr. Cowpland made a little more of an effort to focus his address on the advertised topic: his vision of a market that combines the open-source model with the profitability demands of a public company. He did congratulate the Linux community on its "coming-out party" and tout some well-known facts and stats about the growth of the Linux operating system and the conversion of Microsoft users to Linux. But Mr. Cowpland also used the talk as a drawn-out advertisement, starting with a giant video display of Corel flags and balloons, intermingled with sports heroes, and moving on to a demo of Corel's latest offerings. Corel claims to be the first commercial software and hardware vendor to recognize the potential of open source. Its WordPerfect 2000 suite on Linux has been available since late last year and has been downloaded from the Internet more than 600,000 times. Dr. Cowpland said that Corel would distribute Linux through Corel DesktopLinux to simplify the use of Linux for the mainstream.... herring.com
