Just saw that happen in the med world. Again. Getting rid of competition may or may not be a laudable motivation here but if they'd do a due diligence and find out that the competitor's product was better then a torching makes no sense.

Cadstar is bloatware target marketed to non-electronic technical management. Surely Orcad cannot be worse. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
