I'm not sure how much the age of the company matters. If they have customers and/or revenue, that determines what they're worth much more than age.

- Hermel 12y agoIt matters as an indicator of how long it would take to rebuild acompli from scratch.
- misterbwong 12y agoHow long it takes to rebuild an app really isn't that important. Revenue + traction trump technical sophistication 9 times out of 10.

- ams6110 12y agoRebuilding isn't the hard part. It's acquiring the users, which gets into a whole host of non-technical things such as timing, messaging/marketing, word-of-mouth, and a good dose of just plain luck. Absolutely no guarantee Microsoft could do that even if their app was technically identical or even objectively better (see Windows Phone).
