They went down the road with bad management way back in the late 90's. They had a great product back then for $99 that would do what MySQL does now (and this was around '98). Then they dropped it all and focused on the embedded fad sweeping at that time. The investors have only themselves to blame, they did too little, too late. I love the product, but they shafted the early adopters, and now feel the shaft themselves. Solid Technology got what it deserved.

In fact, the fact that it's now free from IBM may actually turn it into an interesting open-source project. But there are few, if any, near-term winners in the mess. Certainly not Solid's investors, who pumped nearly 100 million euros into the company only to sell it for (rumor has it) 20 million euros. Or so. In fact, the result was bad enough that one of Solid's venture investors went on the record to declare, "Sijoitus Solidiin ei vastannut sille asetettuja tavoitteita" ("The investment in Solid did not meet the objectives set for it." ...
