Ever since CorelDraw 6 (Corel's flagship product) CorelDraw's quality has been going down the drain. Every version tops the previous in the bloatware category. Things that used to take 2min on a 486/66 take 4min on a Celeron 366.
If the quality of Corel Linux is similar to CorelDraw I think, no - I KNOW I'll pass.
Although quite popular, the idea that people only use 15% (or some similar number) is untrue. If this were true people who suffer partial brain damage at an early age would be able to re-route their synapses and regain full capibilities. Children born with only 20% of their brain matter would be to able to function normaly. I'd love to be able to point to a link on more information but I pulled it all out of a BBC documentary about a neurosurgeon.
i was talking to a friend of mine who has a record label. we were looking over a vinyl of the new public enemy album and i was explaining to him that there is NO way to truly secure audio under windows (or any OS where peripherals are controled by OS-level drivers) because you can always swap your sound card driver for one that dumps data to the hard drive.
just like there's no way to prevent a user from saving graphics he sees on the web, there's no way to prevent him from capturing sound played from his computer.
