Re: [Sheflug] Questions over Corel

The greatest loss is the Wine development work...but since this seems to have 
specifically been geared towards getting Corels own Win32 apps running 
perhaps even this loss isn't that great.

MS getting yet another talking-to is no great surprise over this, given 
recent history, although making it stick is another matter. 

.Net is giant con...... perhaps when we all have broadband access then .Net 
will be a workable concept (let's face it, it's only a glorified network 
installation, as Office has allowed for years), effectively on a pay-per-use 
basis. In other words another license for His Billness to print money at an 
incredible rate. One attraction however has to be that it will take the admin 
work out of running the often-patched Office software...
