The article is interesting in the part of buying PowerPoint.
But what happened with the other "big" product mentioned briefly in the article: "FileMaker Plus"? Does that mean that some people stayed with the "old" company and then got later acquired by Apple? Because AFAIK, FileMaker these days is a subsidiary of Apple.
- tssva 4y agoForethought was the distributor of FileMaker and not the developer. After Microsoft acquired Forethought the developer, Nashoba, directly distributed FileMaker. Eventually Nashoba was purchased by Claris which was a division of Apple. Claris was later renamed to FileMaker.
- PinguTS 4y agoThanks. Yeah, remember working with Claris Filemaker on MacOS 9. But didn't knew that Forethought was "just" a distributor to this product. Thanks for clearing this up.
