It is real easy to make statements like this without having factual data to
back it up. That amounts to a cheap shot. I think time will tell if there
are going to be any major changes. In my daily operations, I have had some
pretty close relations with their technical staff, along with their vendors.
I do not get a sense of impending doom that you suggest. Also, to compare
this action to what happened with another company is totally unfair as well.
I agree with one of the other person's answers.... that this was a money
deal.. nothing more, and I think that it helps both companies strengthen
their financial pictures. Think about it, instant market share, non
competing product lines, both are industry leaders... come on, it make
perfect business sense. I can see nothing but a stronger company emerging
from this. In addition, with AXENT's soon to be released entry into the
appliance market, they look even better than before. It made sense to buy
now, before the big release rather than having to pay more for it later.
