He doesn't need to. He has what he calls "attack groups".

Per our discussion in the hotel room.., this press release actually says 
they are "jointly developing WordPerfect 8" and integrating Communicator 
into that. Combine that with the Corel Java work and I think this does 
make Netscape a key competitor ....

I guess the Groupwise relationship with Novell was structured so that 
Corel could just ignore it since this attacks that directly. I thought 
Corel had committed a bunch of royalties for Groupwise and loyalty to 
Novell. We should have Novell analysts probe this issue.

I do wonder how the pricing between the 2 companies work since they both 
want to make revenue on these products. We should get Netscape and Corel 
analysts to probe this issue.

We do need to get our people to evaluate these JAVA products again. I 
look forward to seeing what the analysis comes up with.

With Netscape and Corel working together its nice that we organized 
ourselves so the group attacking Netscape and the group attacking Corel 
are under common leadership! I agree their relationship could get 
stronger over time with Netscape buying Corel. It would be complex but 
if they pulled it off it would strengthen them.

You mentioned this in the MYR today...we are following up and calling 
analysts to get their info on the Netscape/Corel relationship. .. 
MikeHeb will forward as soon as we have it. SteveSi is also looking at 
the latest Corel Java apps they  posted.

Thanks
