Software Developer

I have used CorelDraw since version 1.0 and later Corel PhotoPaint and it has always been a great value and far easier to use than any Adobe products. Corel has a much more deft touch with interface design than Adobe.

A review some time ago of CorelDraw vs. Adobe Illustrator in PC Magazine found that some operations in CorelDraw that took three mouse clicks to accomplish took many dozens in Illustrator.

A touch screen is an excellent way to interface with drawing elements, especially if it is pressure sensitive. So you would have to use some glass cleaner on the monitor, but at least it would have a touch-durable screen, unlike most LCD panels with extremely delicate soft plastic.

No thanks to touching my monitor!

Good hell, it is hard enough to stop people from touching the monitor to begin with, and now they want software that encourages the practice?! Good hell, that's one program I'm not buying.

re: Good PR gets them free products

At least Corel didn't pay to have the write up !

Does that mean there will be a price crash in non-touch screens?

Will regular 30 inch non-touch screens prices crash? I hope so!

Good PR gets them free products- and that's why INQ is no different

Anyone smart enough would read the first paragraph of this entry and move on, like I did. Stop wasting our time INQ.

I assume a fanboy will drop in just below me and shout, "If you don't like it don't read it". whatever...

zuh?

This article reads like conspiracy-nut rants mixed in with a lot of fanboy beanbag fondling.

I've been able to use "touchscreen capability" with Photoshop and Illustrator since XP Tablet Edition. And so have many many more people.

Your site's devolved so far in the past few years it's beyond cro-mag.

How many bug fixes and patches would it take to get me to use Corel's cludgy products on ANY OS, let alone Win7? A substantial amount.

Corel embraces the touch screen

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
