Very interesting.  The Chronicle article had at least 1 comment and it has been 
deleted!

All,

I am starting to wonder if the overall plan is to break up the company to and 
to sell the Remedy piece to Oracle and then license it back for ITSM (as well 
as the Cloud and other items).

Just saying...

Yup I think that too.. And its one of the worst mistakes BMC has made since 
Remedy Corporation's (not BMC) decision to sell out to Peregrine. The dark 
might soon return.



Hopefully the product would survive this one too.

I think if it were his choice, the announcement would have been worded 
differently.

Not trying to start any rumors or badmouth anyone, just giving my read on the 
situation with the extremely limited information available.

Big huge mistake!  David has been the best advocate BMC ever had (other than 
Doug M.) in the Developer community!  I am very glad I had the opportunity to 
meet him in person and in the virtual world!

All,

 

I am starting to wonder if the overall plan is to break up the company to
and to sell the Remedy piece to Oracle and then license it back for ITSM (as
well as the Cloud and other items).

 

Just saying.
