Remember also that Corel supports Draw on the Mac. Since this would share
most of the codebase with Draw Windows, there already exists a
Win32-on-the-Mac compatibility layer, developed in house long before Wine
entered the picture. Certainly the last quoted sentence is true (their
cross platform goals extend to the Mac) and it would seem to be a good
idea to only have to rely on one cross platform Win32 layer.
Of course, there's a difference between good ideas, good ideas that they
are working on, and good ideas that they are working on that they are
willing to talk about. Based on what Jeff says, this is probably just a
good idea, nothing more.
