hmm, maybe i'm just naive but so what if MS bails out Corel as far as linux
goes. There is/was nothing stopping MS from creating their own distribution
of linux nor stopping them from building applications for Linux. I can't
believe that there aren't any MS programmers running linux at home (or at
work) and I wouldn't be surprised to find out that apache is running
somewhere in that company.

That really sucks!! I bought the Corel 2000 deluxe office suite last year
when it came out, and now I'm going to have to call Micro$oft for support!
(I know, there won't be any support. I just don't believe they're allowed
to suck up another company!)
