NAI to Sell Off PGP Product Line

Posted by michael on from the pretty-bad-profits dept.

An Anonymous Coward writes: "Network Associates announced today that they are ceasing development of most of the PGP product line, including PGPMail and PGP Desktop Encryption software. This was apparently due to disappointing sales of the products. See the FAQ for more information on what's being killed and what's being kept." Another anonymous and unverified submitter says, "The entire PGP Business Unit was axed more or less wholesale. I guess selling encryption doesn't really make money. I worked there up until today and somewhere around 250 of the 300 employees were clipped."

    Was he molested by homos? Did the football team gang bang him in gym class?

    Or did Michael naturally get a boner when looking at pictures of his dream boy Anthony Michael Hall?
