COREL PRODUCTS WINDOWS 95 UPGRADE
And, reduce the upgrade pricing so it is truly a deal. Lastly, Coel needs to stop the spamming of the continued discounted price that is always the same amount and offering and simply reduce the price permanently as the discount ads make the company look desperate and cheapens the offering. Maybe I'm just inept with there websight but I'll be darned I've never gotten an answer to anything I've ever e-mailed the company about. Here is a void where if Corel does not do it, eventually the makers will wake up and start including OOo as it can be done for next to nothing.Ĭorel does need to bring back support. I think Corel could develop an OEM program that is competitive with anything MS offers especially now that MS essentially has withdrawn OEM inclusions as a result of the monopoly issues.
The key to increasing numbers of course is at the OEM level.

An update program for OpenSource office Suites would be impractical. Then an update program for Works that offers a more limited offering, Word and Quarttro Pro. I'm not sure just how large the population is. SmartOffice still has a following but is no longer being developed so there is a population prime for conversion. One thing I'd suggest off the top of my head is that it offer an update based on owners turning in their pre-recoreded CDs or discs from other brands, this would be MS Office and Lotus SmartOffice. I think Corel could do some things to improve sales. Under Corel it stabilized but the lifestyle of the past President of Corel precluded senior management from keeping an eye on the shop and drained resources, especially financial. WP skipped a beat with 6.0, 6.0a and 6.1 but a larger factor is sliding and not catching up was that it passed from owner to owner and hence there arose uncertainty and lack of continuity in timely development as management continually changed. The same applied to the "office-suite wars" of the 1990s that some of the older members here might remember. Little wonder that film producers preferred VHS over Betamax or Video 2000.Īpart from that, I didn't want to start a discussion about the video tape format war of the late 1970s and early 1980s but only provide an example that a superior technology (Video 2000 was definitely technologically superior to VHS) needs not be successful if the marketing behind it is crap. It's a fact that when VCR became affordable for home users, video shops had mainly sex films for rent, and both Philips and Sony didn't permit commercial sex films being put on their tape format, whereas JVC was very generous with licences: every electronic company was permitted to sell VHS recorders, they just had to produce them using certain parts from JVC (or Panasonic), whereas film producers could put anything on VHS tapes that they wanted without paying a penny to JVC.
The reason why Betamax and Video 2000 failed were simply because Sony and Philips messed up their marketing, particularly licencing. Recording times weren't an issue with the Video 2000 system, which offered tapes of up to eight hours (2 x 4 hours) recording time. * It may require general cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.
