This is an excellent synopsis!
And, you are exactly right.
I could walk you through almost an identical story from my own personal experience! Oh, and the HP purchase of Compaq? Well, I already covered this on page 1. The greed machine runs out of meat so the only solution left is to buy up another mammoth company consolidate the overlap, take the profits and run.
Incidentally, this is how the hedge funds roll, this is their turf. What's left is a crippled giant with nothing left to sell which nobody wants. The whole truly is less than the sum of the parts. But they don't care; they got their money and they're down the road.
Watched it happen with my own two eyes.
And it still doesn't end...

Monitor Change Smell The Cheese Often So You Know When It Is Getting Old
Adapt To Change Quickly The Quicker You Let Go Of Old Cheese, The Sooner You Can Enjoy New Cheese
Change Move With The Cheese
Enjoy Change! Savor The Adventure And Enjoy The Taste Of New Cheese!
Be Ready To Change Quickly And Enjoy It Again They Keep Moving The Cheese.
They're capturing as much as possible in the shortest possible time because they know a truth. That truth is that sooner than later, the music is going to stop and only those with the golden parachute will survive.

old people complain
Well, as we all know and history has made it quite clear, young people are always wiser than old people who have had time to learn wisdom. And young people are always the first to confirm this.

I just bought a bottle of Belgian Trappist beer....$24. Does that make me a 1%er? It is 11%, but I have been drinking since the AM. This one may do me in.
