"Oh yes, and Rob Armstrong didn't rule out selling the code for the right price. Any billionaires out there who love UFT?"
He also said, in the next sentence, words to the effect that he would feel honor-bound to tell the prospective purchaser that there was no way the product could be made profitable.This was based on his view that the 16-bit code was so hashed from updates and mods that it was hard to fix one bug without creating -I think he actually said something like a dozen more.
As I recall it he said he felt he had to cancel the 32-bit version, started before he had control, because he could get no feeling of progress toward a completion date.
He came across as sincere (in my view) in that he was explaining how things appeared to him that led up to what he felt was a necessary but sad decision.
I know some attendees don't share my opinions of his sincerity.
