I don't think it is a spoof. I think this deal almost went through, and then
fell apart aftter everyone thought it was a done deal. Search on "Boraland
Corel", and you will also see all the posts on why the deal fell through.
Most people don't realize how close Borland was to total catasrophe on
this. I can not even imagine how bad this could have been.
I think this quote really says it all:
"When Canadian software publisher Corel announced Monday that it
bought the company formerly known as the Borland Corporation, many
heads nodded throughout Silicon Valley.
Borland, people felt, was in a better place now."
That really says a lot of how bad a state Borland was in, if you ask
me :)
