And, then, in the last sentence, IE is promoted. Lawyers have long used Word Perfect. The victory for Corel is stable income from a multiple year contract. Real victory will require some real effort on Corel's side over the next 5 years to improve it's product and market.

And they're switching to IE now? When it hasn't had an upgrade in how long? When its malware issues are at their worst? When other, better browsers are finally starting to take serious market share from IE, and websites are moving away from MS's version of HTML?
Well, this is the DOJ, after all; the folks who had MS on the ropes and then said, "Okay, never mind." 
Your tax dollars at work.
Hey!!! Was that Pithy? Got a twenty?
