Corel’s Linux to Access and Run Windows Apps

Corel Corp. announced today that it will be the first Linux distribution
to offer "seamless connectivity" between the Linux operating
system and applications designed for Microsoft's Windows.

Using technology similar to Citrix’s client, which enables Windows
applications to be accessed over a network, Corel will use GraphOn
software to give Linux the ability to use Windows applications via a
network.

By using a centralized Windows-based server, Linux clients could run a
number of Windows-based applications such as Microsoft Office
or graphic programs like Adobe Photoshop.

A version of Corel’s Linux OS containing licenses for both Windows NT
server, and Linux client versions of "GraphOn Bridges" software is
set for mid-2000 shipment.

Michael Cowpland, president and chief executive officer of Corel
Corporation said in a press release, "With the integration of GraphOn
Bridges into the Corel LINUX OS it will be easy to enjoy the benefits
and high reliability of Linux while having access to the most widely
used Windows applications, this will enable organizations to mix Linux
and Windows desktops seamlessly which is a prime goal of Corel
in our Linux development."

Corel Corp.’s stock led the Toronto Stock Exchange in gains today on the
announcement; the Ottawa-based Corel saw 32.5 percent
gains, while being the third most active stock on the Nasdaq.
