dude! I find you here when you should be hard at work! what are we paying you for, anyway? but my 01, since I'm here... that beta-tester agreement was a pr screwup, nothing more. corel isn't a *big* software company. weren't they facing large losses and a possible buyout from adobe six seven months ago? they're canadian, ferchristsake! From what I've seen of their Linux, it's a step in a Windowsish direction. I don't think that's a bad thing, but it's not going to be everyone's thing. So WP2K isn't going to be GPL'd anytime soon? They're still employing Linux people and contributing to GPL'd code. No matter what happens (and it might include corel losing their pants) it's going to be good for Debian, and that's good for everyone. MB

Wordperfect will work best with Wine, which Corel have contributed heavily to.
