Corel has fallen upon hard times these last few years. They’ve fallen victim to Microsoft, in trying to maintain their WordPerfect product in a world where Word is the de facto standard. They squandered their early advantage with CorelDraw, which was a leading-edge product in its day (which has long past.) They tried to make money on Linux, a foolish choice, and tried to re-invent DOS, a move which seems so boneheaded that I can’t even think of a good way to describe it.

But miracles happen. It seems that they may actually be profitable this year; they’re actually making money for the third quarter in a row. Will wonders never cease.
