Usually Equity Firms / Vulture Capital takeovers end up with a lot of asset stripping. BMC is rich pickings because they hoovered up a lot of software titles - I'd expect the smaller of those to be flogged off for a quick return, the high profit titles grown until the company can be flipped for a targeted return. Equity firms aren't generally known for long-term ownership or putting huge amounts of money into R&D - to them the product is the business itself rather than what those businesses make. Not always the case and I hope I'm wrong...just seen a lot of it in the dotcom era.. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
