CNet had an interview with BEA’s Alfred Chuang today and linked back to their story when BEA’s acquisition of WebLogic was announced. That article in turn links to the article about Sun’s acquisition weeks before of NetDynamics.
One of the funny memories of that time was the morning in July I came back from vacation. I asked the guy in the next cube if anything had happened while I was away and he said, casual as could be, that Sun had bought us. Since our CEO Zack Rinat had always told the staff that his goal was to build a billion dollar company, I had expected any acquisition news to feature us as the buyer. My boss wasn’t in that early so I went over to his boss and asked for the details and Russ confirmed it. Quite a bit of news to digest before coffee!
