Regardless of whether Metastream ever amounts to anything beyond another overly complex technology for accessing simple information, the death of Metacreations has been all but confirmed. Corel has bought the creative heart and soul of Metacreations or MetaTools or HSC or Fractal or whatever alias you wish to remember the company by. Aside from a couple sideline savior moves by Adobe for Canoma and Carrara, all I can envision in the future for once proud tools like Vector Effects, KPT, Bryce, and Painter is a painful second-banana existence in the shadow of the free clip art bundling hero, CorelDraw!
