Look - these are sharp experienced guys, and some bad mistakes were made. They clearly were not fatal, and the company has tremendous resources, a deep organization, a wide base of committed partners, strong products and satisfied customers. They have to fix those mistakes and problems, which are in a number of areas, and then will get it back together again. It was an extremely harsh wake-up call, and will probably serve to motivate the organization to kick some serious butt. It will take 6 months to fix it all up, but you'll probably see a better company in the long run. In the meantime, some larger organization will probably see the value, and may acquire the company.
