My previous employeer, InstallShield, was a privately held company until today when they were bought out by MacroVision. (story) I put a lot of time into my development efforts at InstallShield, so this is interesting news to me. It was a good move for InstallShield since they didn't have the right conditions to go public themselves. The company which bought InstallShield, is also headquarted in Santa Clara, CA, which is were I live.
This is interesting news to me, but I am very glad that I left for Sun.
