The beauty of Wikipedia - it's all there, recorded in the history.
It's too bad when there is a fundamental conflict for direction in a company, especially when due to acquisition. Often the aquiring company has little clue or interest in what the core of the acquired company valued and made it worth buying in the first place.
Time Warner bought Atari because of the sharp increase in home video games, then ignored the core of the company who pointed out that the trend was not limitless. They left to develop the Amiga computer, a multitasking OS with an integrated GPU. Soon after, the video game market collapsed leaving TW with little. Commodore eventually bought Amiga to get an advantage and promptly did everything wrong that Amiga had done right. Dead Amiga. Dead Commodore.
Schlumberger bought Applicon (CAD) and MDSI (an NC company) and forced them to integrate. Both gone.
I recall a Schlumberger/Applicon tech rep becoming really unhappy at a meeting. He wanted to know what features I was interested in and I mentioned I liked the recently announced Pro/Engineer. He came unglued. The sales rep calmly held him back and mentioned that this was a common request.
Yup. It's a bad sign when the tech reps get angry with users. Too bad it's usually someone who really cares for the product and are prevented from making it better or are forced to make it worse.
