Yes, the exception. That simply supports my argument.

And we’re talking about stuff we see. Again, I bet you’d never heard of FolderShare or UbiBoot before I mentioned them here, and those are just 2 tools of many that I’ve lost to acquisitions over the years.

How many other tools/products have companies quietly acquired and killed that we don’t know about?
