Way I see it, the $50 per incident is fine. You are not
forced to take it. There is plenty of Linux help on the
internet, and no doubt Corel will have its mailing lists
and share of gurus on it.
The pay-per-incident is an option, valuable to some people,
mostly first time users, or corporations who need to have
a "bottom line" for support rather than some vague '...get
support from the internet...'
I think it is a fine idea for Corel to come into the Linux
fold. Their version is still 1.0 and I am sure that you
will see quick evolvement, even before the first official
for-sale release. The package that bundles WP8, Netscape
etc. is simply dynamite. I LOVE the install options of
"wipe windows". Hehehehe. And no doubt you will see all
sorts of new computers selling with your CHOICE of Corel
Linux or Windows 98....or even BOTH preinstalled.
Corel is a respectable name in computing. Let us wish them
well. Heck, I may even try it myself...
