“Corel Corp. kicked stock market gains into overdrive on Monday,
riding a wave of enthusiasm for the Linux operating system for
which it is developing compatible software.”
“The Ottawa-based software developer’s strong showing comes amid
increasing market interest in Linux. That open source operating
system, which can be downloaded free on the Internet, is seen as a
competitor to Microsoft Corp.’s Windows.”
“Corel will preview new Linux software at the Linux World trade
show in San Jose, California on Tuesday.”
“The technology, which Corel expects to launch by year’s end, is
designed to be a user-friendly interface with Linux that presents a
familiar screen to users. The system is aimed at making it easier
to use Linux on desktop computers.”
