“Canadian software maker Corel Corp. is rallying the troops to
build support for the Linux computer operating system, but that
doesn’t signal it’s ready for a return to battle with Microsoft
Corp.”
“The Corel Linux Advisory Council, in its first meeting on
Tuesday, started work on building a following for Linux, a free
operating system that is seen as an alternative to Microsoft’s
Windows operating system.”
“Ottawa-based Corel has organized a two-day discussion with
about 25 firms developing software for Linux, which now has an
estimated 10 million to 12 million users. Code for the open source
system is free to anyone who wants to develop it.”
