Microsoft rumored to be making an offer for Symantec
by Lee Mathews (RSS feed) Sep 9th 2010 at 11:30AM
Reports abound this morning that Microsoft may be taking a look at Symantec.
After Intel's unexpected purchase of McAfee recently, prevailing sentiment is
that other major players may all make similar moves. The rumors stem from
analyst Katherine Eggbert's statement that "without a strategic sale or
break-up near-term, a high-level management change may perhaps be the next
step demanded by anxious shareholders."
Take the "news" with a large grain of salt. This isn't the first time rumors
have swirled regarding a Symantec purchase. In 2007, there was talk that HP
would acquire the company. It's also quite a leap to go from "stock prices
can't rise without a purchase offer from someone" to "Microsoft is going to
buy Symantec."
Then again, maybe Microsoft does want to buy Symantec -- and then integrate
their consumer apps into Security Essentials and their corporate products
into Forefront -- and then shut things down. You know, to have the ultimate
last laugh about the 2006 lawsuit Symantec filed over Vista. Nah, they're not
that nasty... Right?
All joking aside, if the rumors are true Microsoft would stand to gain plenty
from the purchase. They'd have an even larger presence in the enterprise and
control over the #1 (sales-wise) paid antivirus product for consumers to
complement their own free offering, the hugely popular Security Essentials.
