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.

Not that having fewer distros would really be a bad thing, but inquiring minds want to know!
As an upper mid-level management member of corel for the last 10 years, I have to make my thoughts known.
When our company first acquired WordPerfect, we set about the massive undertaking of synnergizing our product lines, and escalating the sales curves.
Nevertheless, intrinsic management pressures dissuaded any stock options from being excercised, and so you get what we have now. When Veront comes in, the same thing will happen again.
A bunch of guys in suits who havent had a product in a decade will sit around wondering why they arent making any money.
However, it's too late. Enough WordPerfect code has been stolen for the OSS project, Open Office, that there's no way to put the genie back in the bottle and profit from our hard earned IP.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!

Got proof, or is this more SCO-style bullshit?
Prove it, or shut the hell up.
