NO. I'm saying MS bought OFF Corel. Corel was on the skids, MS put
about 250 million USD into the company, 2 months later Corel announced
that they were dropping their Linux app development. Prior to that,
both WordPerfect and Draw were out for Linux, besides Corel's own
distribution.

dropped about a quarter billion USD on Corel, Corel dropped Linux apps
like a hot rock. gnumeric. Midnight Commander (mc). gmc, the GUI
version of mc. StarOffice. LaTEX. Emacs.
