I believe there's probably quite a few people who have worked for so-called
wholly-owned subsidiaries...I know I have in the past...and taken out of the
context of the conversation "nothing" probably IS too strong a word to use,
but not in this case methinks! You have to look at the past actions of
Borland/Inprise management, and this whole cockeyed setup they attempted to
foist upon the public again with their previous announcements!
Remember almost everyone thought the original announcement about a
buyer was premature...and it was! Look how they fooled their own people
with all this DevCo nonsense! They continually do and say things out of
turn...in the wrong order...and without any real basis! My trust in their
ability to manage properly is very, very low, and I would never consider
investing in them.
What we're looking at now, if it's even to be believed just because
they've made yet another announcement, is that things are going right back
to the way they were. No matter how they label things, orders still come
from the top down. The only things that will be any different are the route
they'll take, and how their profits and/or losses will be siphoned off!
Face facts, the only reason they're now going this route is that the
big money wasn't fooled by all the past rhetoric and so Borland couldn't get
the price they wanted. So now they backpedal again!
I don't know about anyone else, but when I took economics in school,
examples of company changes, marketing announcements, etc., like these, were
used as a way of showing how badly a company can be run! Every time they
make another strange announcement like this they're whittling at their own
throats yet again!
