Do you think that Trimble has fixed its management problems?

Most of the valuation that Trimble has generated is in new products for new business lines (such as avionics, timing marine mapping etc) through their $240 million in R&D expenses. That number does not show up in shareholders equity but you can bet it will show up in future earnings to the tune of 5 times.

Do you think that Trimble's historic problems have kept away other GPS IPO's, and that this has ultimately worked, accidently and a la new Coke, to its long term advantage?
