Its unfortunate but you see this happen often. There are a few clowns that blow all the cash from a good and potentially profitable company. What’s more unfortunate is that these clowns have a very decent backing from the development community, as well as bank roll employees. Why invest in R&D when you can update your house, buy boats and fancy cars? Unfortunately, I would not blame demise on other more competitive Linux solutions, but your own lack of creativity and direction. Next time (if there is) perhaps you can learn from your shareholders.

Good Luck,
