Hello Corel haters/are there any lovers left?

I am no longer in Corel, and am amazed to observe I still follow
the dire fortunes of this dreadful company. I suppose it is because I still have some sense that:

-- millions of WP users are an asset (if Corel does anything with them)
-- same story with Draw users
-- WP suite on Linux could sell, eventually
-- maybe they will actually decide to put out less buggy product
-- maybe they have some financial management now???????

HOWEVER:

I have enormous doubts that any of this will really be capitalized
upon because I see every sign that the leadership continues to be
quixotic, deceitful, dishonest and incapable of focusing on, and
realizing opportunities.

So in the face of all that, I think I would be interested at Corel
at about .50 US and even at that level I think I probably would be
indulging my latent death wishes.

Do others feel differently? Why?

Cowpland sticks to prediction of future profitability
...He also insisted that Corel put out its earnings warning at the earliest moment it was aware how bad sales were.
