From the yahoo thread: from barrons 5/25: "...in this era of mega mergers, it's worth noting that 60%-80% of mergers are financial failures, either underperforming the stock market or failing to produce promised synergies. In fact, we pointed out, buying another company is one of the most dangerous things a chief executive can do." I think Del's obsession with hitting the $500 million sales mark is wrong. How much will he have to pay for those sales? Isn't this how Borland's troubles originally started? I would be much happier as a shareholder if they just stuck with being the being the best language tools vendor, and concentrated on making money in that market. What we have now is another empire builder. How much is the empire going to cost the shareholders?
