Wow, this comes as a surprise! Wait.. I remember some discussions on this list some time ago. Several people were worried about the take-over of The Kernel Group by Veritas. Some people reacted: "Why didn't Tivoli think of this? Buying a rather small company to enhance your product!" And how about future releases and support by Veritas? "Don't worry!" was the response from Tivoli. "Veritas agreed on supporting TSM as server platform". We were all very pessimistic, not without a reason so it seems...
