- code_beers 8y agoYeah, I would have expected this to go the other way around. “Parallels bought Corel? Corel still exists? Why would Parallels even want them?”
- tlrobinson 8y agoI don't much about private equity, but Corel is owned by Vector Capital, so maybe they're providing the money? https://www.vectorcapital.com/investments/case-study/corel https://www.vectorcapital.com/investments/case-study/corel
- ungzd 8y agoDo Vector Capital specialize on Vector Graphics software companies?
- sodosopa 8y agoI'm kinda shocked they both exist. Both were good products back in the day, but in 2018? Come on.
- mosselman 8y agoWhat do you base this on? Is it that neither has released a front-end javascript framework or an in-house container orchestration tool as open-source (that I know of)? Or is there some other hipness criterium that they failed to meet?
- sodosopa 8y agoNah, I'm old or at least in tech years I'm old. I've worked with projects before containerization I have been a former user of both products. I didn't imagine Corel had the capital to move out of bargain-bins.
