Corel Ousted From Public Life?

gagy writes "Ottawa's Corel Corp. has been showing signs of weakness in the past few years, and looks very likely to be bought out by Vector Corp, at which point it will become a privately held company. A Toronto Star story spells out the details of the deal, and takes a brief look at the history of Corel." We mentioned Corel's deal with Vector last month.

Aw, crap. (v1.1)

I don't seem to understand why a company which makes such an excellent product as Painter would let themselves be bought out, by anyone.

If things continue on this exponential curve of stupidity, then Adobe should be bought out by Phillip Morris sometime in October.

Hey, why NOT have a Photoshopped image of Liza Minelli smoking her life away on the box?

Corel, software company, dead at 18

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Software company Corel was found dead in its Ontario home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss them - even if you didn't enjoy their work, there's no denying their contributions to popular culture. Truly a Canadian icon.
