“Corel Corp. will today unveil Linux versions of its flagship
software and new graphics technology that could dramatically boost
Linux’s viability as an alternative to Microsoft Windows.”

“In a keynote speech at the Linux World Conference in San Jose,
Michael Cowpland, Corel’s president and chief executive, will
describe his company’s new Linux-based graphical user interface —
