Why did Corel cease publishing WP for Linux?
Corel discontinued all Linux-related operations shortly after Microsoft Corporation’s major investment that prevented the firm’s collapse: Some speculate a causal relationship. Corel may have also seen WP for Linux sales (and downloads) as being at the expense of its versions for non-Linux Unixes, through both the influx of Intel Linux boxes and other Unix platforms’ increasing ability to run Intel Linux binaries. Also, outgoing CEO Michael Cowpland had been the main force behind Corel’s Linux program, and new management doesn’t share his views.
