		"Cowpland's biggest mistake was when he tried to take on Microsoft in its own backyard," says John Shoesmith, an analyst at the Toronto office of high-tech research firm International Data Corp.

		The second was Cowpland's agreeing to receive feedback on his management style from an outside consulting firm -- a process that culminated in the formation of a 12-member Executive Leadership Team.
		Despite Corel's recent initiatives, Morochove remains unimpressed: "Cowpland is like a desperate man in a burning house, going from corner to corner looking for a bucket of water." He predicts Cowpland will spin off in another direction in three months' time.

		Cowpland and OSC investigators say that by selling the shares before announcing the lousy financial results, Cowpland avoided a loss of between zero and $1.3-million.
		Cowpland's lawyer argued, and the OSC's staff lawyer accepted, that Cowpland sold the stock to repay a debt that was coming due -- not to avoid stock-market losses.
		Both sides also agreed Cowpland believed at the time of the stock sale -- incorrectly as it turned out -- that Corel had made arrangements with a software distributor that would enable the company to meet its third-quarter revenue targets.
