Post Script: All the rest of the mergers

3Com/Tipping Point
Siebel/edocs
Microsoft/Giant Software Company
Avaya/RouteScience Technologies

These mergers needed to happen for the bigger company of the pairs to stay alive. That's the conventional wisdom, anyway.

My take on it is that if these mergers don't kill the respective companies then they might possibly be better companies two to five years from now.
