Leo, What's you're take on the news of the "million download attempts" for WP Linux? Could there be that much interest? If that number is for real, maybe the potential market is bigger than previously thought??? Further, if that number is for real, $3 is grossly discounted based on future demand. Maybe Corel has found a choice niche for tasty profits! Scott

I don't have any substantiated evidence to verify my numbers, however, if they are still reporting revenue when it gets shipped to the channel, then I would assume the channel would have pre-ordered thousands of copies as is the case with any new release. I think in the past Corel got itself in trouble because it would stuff the channel at the end of the product life cycle and as a result nothing would move. I think with any new release the risk of clearing new inventories would be minimal. With this assumption in mind, I think the possiblity exists that Corel could post revenues of 75 million!! perhaps my previous estimation of 85 million was a little aggressive, but it would be nice!! If they did report revenues of 75 million what do you predict the expenses for the quarter would be?
