By offering a Linux version Now it is virtually giving away WordPerfect in the PC Chips deal. OEM bundles are a great way to build new products in new categories. When buyers don't already have a favorite product, they take what comes for free. Bundles don't work for existing products in existing categories. Worse, I have yet to see signs Corel has fresh ideas for reviving its graphics franchise.
Loyalty is a two-way street.
I reward my dogs' faithfulness with treats. Likewise, WordPerfect users have been loyal and they deserve something in return. Use the TalkBack button to tell me what you think. Or jump to my Berst Alerts Forum and talk it over with other readers. WordPerfect will revive and become a viable competitor to Microsoft products WordPerfect will stay in the doldrums, but CorelDraw will continue to be an important player Corel has had it.
