“Corel Corp. {CORL}, the maker of the once-dominant WordPerfect
word-processing software, is hitching its wagon to the fast-rising
Linux star.”
“The Canadian company plans to release an easy-to-install
version of the Linux operating system, called Corel Linux, early
next year. The product drew rave reviews at a recent trade show in
San Jose, Calif. Meanwhile, the company’s new Linux version of
WordPerfect has rapidly become one of the most popular Linux
programs on the market.”
“‘They are pushing Linux to new levels of ease-of-use,’ says
Greg Weiss, an analyst at D. H. Brown, a technology-research firm
in Port Chester, N.Y.”
