In fairness to Corel, Wordperfect for UNIX has been available for years as has their enhanced printer services.
I beg to differ , there WP8 for linux passthroughpostscript does not suport color printing ,I dont ee it as any sort of enhansed printer serice. Doesent even work with the esp drivers eaither. Shucks , applixware and even maxwell print in color. (epson 1160 color inkjet) I remember using it on SCO a number of years ago. Their
new release is simply an enhancment of what WordPerfect Corp were doing before Borland/Corel/Inprise/Everyone got involved.
Surely what we want is a good O/S with good commercial application software. Open source protects us from the mickysofts of the world taking control.
Yes , agree with you hear.
I have a copy of Corel Linux on one of my systems and I have to say that it's install eats anything else I have seen including SuSE. Also it's enhanced KDE which integrates the control panel and Samba, makes Linux much more windoze like, which frankly is one of the biggest barriers to more businesses moving to Linux, they want a familiar interface for their average users.
These are the kind of improvements that can trickle over to other distros. So far I have found when suse lacks in integration and simplicity , it seems to make up for in allowing you do do a whole lot of advanced stuff in yast. It does need some improvment , especialy in printer setup. Have you seen the esp printdriver system. Real neet and real easy. Beats the pants off of suse in printing
Finally, don't knock the competition,learn from them and then do better. Or if you don't like their products, don't buy them.
my 2c worth
