Why not control? Bying Market Share just like big companies buy other
companies to increase market share, why that is not controlling? IBM
bought Informix to increase database market share, Oracle bought
Siebel, etc.
Just to fulfil shareholders requests to groth. This is pure control,
nothing else.
Just my 2 cent.

Subject: Re: IBM left as the Betamax of mainframe tape crypto?
Provocative subtitle to that article, isn't it? Well, at least they
put a
question mark on it. :-)
FWIW (and not speaking officially for IBM or anybody else), it's
excellent
that customers have lots of choices for tape encryption. It's a good
idea
to consider all options.
Also FWIW, I've never liked the word "control" when referring to any
vendor's alleged marketshare. I'd like to think marketshare is
continuously earned rather than controlled.
