“Corel’s chief executive is looking to put his firm’s
software struggles in the past and is banking the future on the
Linux operating system….“
“In the next five years, “half of our revenue will be coming
from Linux,” CEO Michael Cowpland told CNET News.com. “We will
continue to work with Windows, but we hope to be the company that
bridges the gap for users who want products for both Windows and
Linux….”
“Corel is aiming its Linux version at the average user, not the
usual, more technically sophisticated Linux user. The company is
basing the OS on the non-profit Debian version and hopes to use it
to sell its WordPerfect Office suite of programs.”
