I was out-of-town when all this came out, so I am catching up now. OK I want to comment on this below. I do not think the comparison is really appropriate mostly because we are talking about screen readers which has a very small market. I agree at some future time this company will have only 1 screen reader since it is unlikely that profits will be enough to maintain both. Remember unlike the company mentioned below these companies are operating with a lot less margin for error Unlike those fast food companies, there is a very limited market which does not allow for much expansion. So time will tell and we can look back at today and see how accurate each of us was. Smile.

However, think of this one for a moment. Yum Brands is a big holding company in the fast-food industry. They own brands such as KFC, Taco Bell and, I believe, Pizza Hut. I believe there are others in that brand holding company but don't know them off-hand. A google search would get you all of them, I'm sure. My point in bringing them up is that there are several brands under that name and all are indepednet. Even though the same holding company owns all of them, they each put out their own type of food and are distinct chains. I'm wondering if VFO now becomes a major holding company in the AT world with each brand allowed to be independent but there is some sharing of resources. We will have to see what happens. BTW I don't know why I didn't think of the comparison last night but time allows one to think. As others have said, and they're probably right, the Dept. of Justice probably wont touch this one due to size. Concerns can be expressed though even if they're not likely to go any further than that.
