Corel still exists?! Good for them!
I suppose Corel Draw is still popular, even though it's not the favourite of most graphical artists/designers.
Other than Photoshop, what are the favorites these days?

Corel still maintains WordPerfect too, last release was 7 months ago
And they've been plenty active in court; SCOTUS just turned down an appeal for the Microsoft case a few years ago

#14I just started using a Mac this year, and I need to run Linux and Windows for testing reasons. I'm starting to do more freelance work now, so I'll have some Windows-focused work as well. Right now I have separate machines for each OS, but I'd like to just use a Mac and get rid of my other machines. I've played with Virtualbox, but I haven't used Parallels or VMWare.

I’ve been using the free Parallels Desktop Lite from the application store. Well its free for Linux and Windows. It also doesn’t do bridging networks - only NAT and host networking. Considering it is an App Store product which should follow the sandboxing rules I suspect its just a fronted for the native hypervisor framework.
I just need to fire an ocasional Linux vem to test something it is more than enough to me. YMMV.

The bigger surprise to me is that they not only exist, but have the money to buy Parallels.

One of the first Linux distributions I tried (after the venerable Slackware) was the short-lived Corel Linux way back in 1999 or thereabouts.

I used Corel Draw back when I worked at a T-shirt and jersey shop in college, and frequently used it to drive a vinyl cutter for jersey numbers and other decoration. From anecdotes I’ve read since then, it appears the software is still the preferred choice in custom apparel, signage, and vehicle livery shops because it interfaces well with the cutting machines those industries use.

I remember using that. It’s was good then I got scared off when my machine didn’t boot one day and I didn’t understand the error.
