Not so much defeat , but more avoiding future liability. They sure could afford to run it , but under the current circumstances, a data leak like the one they claim they didn't have would be very damaging to their image and their moneymakers.
- mindgam3 8y agoIf shuttering a consumer product and relegating it to enterprise isn’t admitting defeat, then I don’t know what you mean by defeat.
- buboard 8y agodefeat happened a decade ago, i don't think it was the hope of "victory" that was keeping it alive. Rather, it was not enough of a trouble/liability (until april), and a small number of people/communities still used it.
- mindgam3 8y ago“defeat happened a decade ago“ ...right. Hence, them finally “admitting defeat” which you objected to for some reason in your previous comment.
