I was assuming that the business model was based upon destruction and 
repulsion of businesses and home users.

I work for a company that went public and assume that the IPO part of 
the company is going the wrong way with this product. This move seems to 
be heading in the direction of "breaking all 1400 pieces" and trying to 
get money out of the remnants.

If the IPO folks want to force profits out of a product. They ought to 
invest in for profit prison industries. The employees cannot ask for 
raises, so the overhead is pretty well limited to the wardens, gaurds, etc.

You can't expect an open source and for the most part, freely developed 
product, to be forced upon the community.

From my personal dealings with IPOs, they are invested by folks that 
want to junkyard products.


Jim - Soon to be displaced by a whole country of forced and well 
controlled labor, China labor. (Similar to for profit prisons)
