I went to the link you posted and read the reviews. The product has a ‘phone-home’ capability and the license agreement allows Corel to make changes to your system. Some of the reviewers call it spyware. I agree, and will not be buying it.
Still the most interesting blog on the the Intertubes!
Thanks to readers like you, mostly. But note that Corel has posted a response.
