MS had its goal.....

... All MS wanted was the company name and the software
packages, and just enough people to support the software.
Everyone else was surplus from the start. The 150 'survivors' will
probable become surplus in the near future. It's a brutal way to do
business, but that's the way it is done in the modern world.

I don't like it

Too often a big company buys up several other successful companies and then dies a few years later. It happens too often and not just in tech companies.

Do I have a solution? No, I am just complaining.
