"Corel said Monday that it will acquire multimedia software provider InterVideo for about $196 million.

The deal will also include InterVideo's majority interest in Ulead, tying the WinDVD, Ulead Photo Impact, Ulead VideoStudio, Ulead DVD Movie Factory, and Corel Paint Shop Pro brands together under one owner."

Just great!

now it can compete with Adobe

It could be a sweet little package to compete with Adobe's monopoly, and would be more for everyday consumers instead of Adobe's marketing to professionals.
