Art software maker snaps up virtualization tool for people who hate Qemu, Oracle VirtualBox that much
When Corel CEO Patrick Nichols asked for Parallels for Christmas, we hope he meant the whole company rather than a copy of the desktop virtualization tool. Because that’s what he got. The whole thing.
Canadian software maker Corel announced on Thursday it is snapping up US-based Parallels.
Corel is best known for CorelDraw, launched in 1989, and for being the home of WordPerfect, WinZip, PaintShop Pro, and Roxio. For your humble vulture, it’s also known for introducing the short-lived Linux and StrongARM-powered Netwinder server family at the end of the 1990s.
Corel was last on our pages after being ordered to cough up patent damages to Microsoft earlier this year, due to Corel Home Office Suite’s user interface being a little too close to Redmond’s Office software.
