I don't typically spread ?rumors? but the source was too good not to.
Yes, it appears true. Microsoft has bought Forethought. I guess they needed a
product like Powerpoint in their offering? Where does this leave Filemaker+,
as a replacement/update to Microsoft File? Why did Apple let go
of Forethought (they were supposed to have a heavy investment in them)?
To unruffle Microsoft's feathers after spinning off the "unnamed-software-co."?
All this speculation and more, coming your way; so stay tuned.
