Re: Corel Linux Article

On Monday 03 July 2006 14:55, Dave Mann stood up and spoke the following
words to the masses in /comp.os.linux.misc...:/

[...] From the article: "Looking back, Brown describes the decision to
drop Corel Linux as 'a successful strategy for Corel and an early step
toward the refocusing of our business. At the time we knew that
Corel's core focus was moving away from the operating system to
concentrate more on our application offerings, and this would almost
certainly have an impact on the level of service we could afford to
customers and users of Corel Linux.' Nor, as a company struggling to
regain profitability, was Corel inclined to try to develop the
GNU/Linux market by continuing to support WordPerfect for Linux."

I'm quite sure that one of their main reasons for dropping Corel Linux
was the participation taken in Corel by Microsoft. ;-)
