So, there's this stalwart software company that virtually created the PC server industry. Over the years, competition grows, a few mistakes are made and they start to falter.
Around the same time, a couple of bright and energetic kids start "monkeying" around with some software and form a company around it. How cute!
The stalwart sees the new kids and thinks they may be onto something, though they're not sure what. It buys the kids company and then makes its biggest mistake yet. The stalwart puts the kids in charge! This despite the lack of any real world business experience. Despite the radically different and little understood philosophy. Despite the lack of experience or understanding of the stalwart's customer base.
Whoooshhhh!!!!! It sounds like the noise that emanates from the stalls in a public restroom.
