DS,

<< A King cannot become a Gorilla, except in a different market or with a different product >>

I disagree.

If through M&A a King accumulates sufficient IP that it controls a proprietary open architecture, either de facto or de jure, it becomes a gorilla.

<< No one has ever posted a convincing case for JDSU being a Gorilla >>

I agree, they have not.

<< NTAP >>

One more time. Convince me NTAP is a gorilla.

You, DS, are the only individual I know, that has attempted to make that case.

I applaud you for it.
