Taking a deal akin to what was offered would have been a poor decision in light of the profits Autodesk was making at the time. Additionally, the concept that shopping around between investment offerings is dissuaded at all is a serious abuse of the market, distorting said market heavily in the investor's favor.

Hindsight is 20/20. Decisions should only be evaluated based on the information available at the time of the decision. Was Autodesk that successful at the time of that negotiation?

  Yes, they were already profitable and growing like crazy (30% month on month).
