Completely agree. Other than the quote about Grand Central ("At the end of the day, more users were definitely better off due to the acquisition."), all of them paint the acquisition in negative manner. But I guess it's not surprising. There are far more stories about acquisition gone wrong instead of acquisition gone right.

- dagw 15y agoThere are far more stories about acquisition gone wrong instead of acquisition gone right. Don't you think that that might be due to the fact that stories where things simply worked out more or less as planned are very dull to tell and hear.
