Microsoft to announce buyout of Informix

When your look at INFORMIX over the last five or so years, think of all the products that have been brought to market by INFORMIX.... Now think of how much the market has taken up the offering's.... How much resources do you think it takes to bring a product to market ? How long do you think it takes to return an overall profit on the product ? .....  I'm guessing they have lost heaps of doe ray me over the last few years because of diversification.

One thing is certain, When money in the door slows down and money out the door speeds up your asking for a takeover and I can't think of any other company that has the proven record in software development like Microsoft. When you think Captain Billy boy has taken the idea of creating a dos for dummies environment and ran with it and now look at the giant he has made. I can't wait to see what will happen with INFORMIX and thank god we all have the opportunity to be there at the start. Received on Sun May 04 1997 - 00:00:00 CEST
