It looks like just another activist investor trying to make some short term dollars without any long term concern. My opinion is that BMC is doing well enough that they probably won’t do everything he says, but they will likely make some small changes to their organization to drive up share price some to prevent their other investors from getting on board with Elliott.
That being said, I don’t think that BMC will stay independent in the long term, but hopefully when they do get bought up it’s by a company that is trying to fill gaps in their own offerings rather than seeking to kill off competition. Either way, I own no shares of BMC and have no plans to do so, but companies I do invest in have had this happen often enough that my opinion is not to worry about this.

I don't see a download offering for Developer Studio for Linux. Am I missing something? Note that the platform listed at the product name is Linux, but the platform listed for AR System Clients ... is Windows.
