Microsoft to acquire FAST Search & Transfer
In a mandatory notification to the Oslo Stock Exchange, Microsoft is announcing an offer to acquire FAST Search & Transfer at a price of NOK 6.6 billion, or roughly 1.2 billion USD.
A (rather fluffy) press release is issued as a MS Word document. I’ve provided a PDF version here
Without commenting further, I’m waiting for an influx of Unix/Linux people looking for new jobs shortly…

I know about at least a few guys who most definetly not will be happy about this in FAST :-)…
Btw; pg3/3 in the PDF says 2/3

Jakob: That bug seems to be in the original Word document :-)
And yeah, I’ve already heard rumours of FAST employees who plan on resigning.
