1 edit | A little bit to add This is a major part of an email Team Z members received on Monday Dec 15, 2003. I don't think there should be an issue adding the information to this thread. I think it should clear up any concerns.
"Check Point is excited about our technology and the new market opportunities we bring to them in the consumer market. They are completely committed to our products, including Integrity and, of course, our ZoneAlarm family of products. They are big fans and they want us to keep growing them. And that brings up an important point--after the acquisition closes in the first quarter of 2004, Zone Labs will continue to operate as an independent division of Check Point. There's no change in leadership or personnel in either company.
This is a wonderful milestone for Zone Labs, and we couldn't have done it without the support of our great customers, and, especially, the dialogue we have with the members of Team Z. We all look forward to continuing that dialogue and sharing with you the next steps on our journey."

| Good news, but let's hope they stick to it. A big company might let the little company that they buy operate independently for awhile, but eventually someone in the big company decides that things would be much better if the little company followed the big company's guidelines. (I have some personal experience with this from my Windows Magazine days.)

That's what many companies say when there is an acquisition, until a few months later there are changes. |
