IF the deal were to go through, it would create a powerhouse. My take is that they said "what the heck, lets give it a try". Sort of like buying a lotto ticket, you know you won't win, but if you do...

If you think Scifres or Foster would throw a million bucks at a lottery-ticket, you don't know either. When SDL bought PIRI, they were advised by one of PIRI's largest customers, LU, that it would be to everyone's benefit. I suspect SDLI went into this deal with the same knowledge of how their customers would react. Everything I've heard and read indicates the customers want more products and want them faster. The merger will allow this to happen.
