Univa UD says it will continue to enhance and support the existing software product lines of the two companies If they do it on the same basis as for the UD agent that does not sound too good for the new company's future...  |

One of the best ways to shoot yourself in the foot, is to nail a dead relitive. It shows poor character.
----------------------------------------The best way to look at this is to note the success of the grid, as the ground you now stand on was inspired by it. Just, in its final throws, things just didnt go so well for those transiting to other projects. So before knocking the grid, make sure to look around at the siggy's for the support of grid.org spirit. Even though the website is closed.     |

But when the Rouse became the new CEO, the priorities changed. It was never made more clear that we were the red-headed step-children than when Moose was canned. (Moose and Moose alone held it together, while at the same time doing two other HUGE jobs: IBM-France and World Community Grid. Yup, WCG was Moose... who wasn't even allowed to get new "spit and wire" for us.) Can someone give us a history lesson? Who was Moose? What did he/she have to do with WCG and where is he/she now? |

Moose was Paul Gentle, he was the only guy to actually do anything with the Grid part of UD. No one else actually bothered to come on line and talk to us. Unlike the good old days in 2001 to 2003 when there was a lot of inter-action with the UD employees....remember UD_Ayers....

http://univaud.com/ is there.
----------------------------------------http://www.univaaud.com is "under construction". Moose worked for UD from 2000-2005. According to his website, he's now a system administrator for University of Texas University Health Center http://mooseworld.org/ Juggle the letters of "Univa United Devices". What comes out are 55556 combinations. There were no 2 word answers. The most interesting were the three word results. This must show why they used "Univa UD" which has NO ALTERNATIVES in English: 255 found.

Moose worked for UD from 2000-2005. OK...but what about this: while at the same time doing two other HUGE jobs: IBM-France and World Community Grid. Yup, WCG was Moose So Moose was integral in the creation/startup of WCG? Howso? How did WCG come about? |

By whatever route, WCG early on was an IBM supported grid entity.
----------------------------------------Back to the original topic, there's lots of marketingspeak here: http://univaud.com/faqs.php This shows that the grid.org effort did not include "customers". 13. Will I still be able to get support for my UD installation? Absolutely – the combined entity will continue to support and enhance all existing product lines. Customers will experience no interruption of service. UD and Univa are both committed to excellent customer support and have outstanding records of customer satisfaction. We assure our customers this will continue.

Eso, you may remember that 2004 IBM press release. UD was used to kick start the entry into distributed computing - explicitly stated. Suppose this Moose was part co-instrumental in the (pre) launch of WCG.
