Also, on the R&D side, they don't do much in-house. If they have a big project, they'll get some small company to do it for them, then acquire the small company and pretend it didn't cost them anything. Free R&D! That's B.S. And you have a problem with this? Apparently so, since you say it is BS. I don't think you know what you are talking about. Cisco and Peoplesoft are two companies that routinely acquire R&D and there are a lot of reasons for it besides accounting gimmickry, for one thing, it enables the star technologists to make the money they deserve in building and selling a company vs. just participating in the salary pool at the local fortune 500 company. The NIH attitude is a killer for innovation, everybody knows that.
