I'm in the US and I have to agree you you on the credibility issue. I'm
plenty alarmed by this announcement as is our Management team.

And I'm afraid that this rather exactly illustrates the damage to the
products' image that will be done, or has already been done, by this
disposal.
How can anyone take a firm called "Rocket Software" seriously*?
Sorry, but for me it's instant Zero Credibility for a DBMS vendor.
Maybe it's cultural thing and it'll go down fine in the USA, but I think
it'll go down like a 'cup of cold sick' in the UK & AUS / NZ / RSA
markets
On the other hand, maybe we'll get more emphasis on integration with
mainstream (= Microsoft) products and less on IBM. For example
* MSMQ instead of MQSeries for reliable message handling,
* SQL Server for EDA instead of DB2,
* Windows Server 2008 the first and principal port of a release,
then Linux, then AIX & other niche O/Ses?

Mike
* OK, I'll concede it might be an acceptable name for a missile guidance
software company, but this ain't them
