Symantec is a software PUBLISHER, not a software developer. When have
they ever developed a product that they market? They buy it and then
market it. PC Tools disappeared one year after Symantec bought it (to
get rid of the competition against Norton Utilities that they bought 4
years earlier). They bought Winfax from Delrina. Their firewall they
got from Axent. Their antivirus product was purchased from IBM. They
got Ghost from Binary Research Ltd. Remember Quarterdeck (yep, eaten
up by Symantec).

Symantec's big push now is buying up the security industry: Safeweb,
@stake, On Tech (or some name like that), Brightmail, TurnTide,
SecurityFocus, and more. Symantec is the Pac Man of software
publishers. Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp.

Symantec is to utilities what EA Games is to games developers and MS is to
just about everything.

Not quite.

Both EA Games and Microsoft actually do develop some new products on
their own. Symantec never does.
