I just find it fascinating that I can go through my life and see things like this: "[Company I've never heard of] and [Another company I've never heard of], something something, billions and billions of dollars". And these companies and the people who run them probably have a non-trivial impact on my life, if not directly than indirectly. It's just fascinating.
Feels like the beginning of the end for Citrix. I've deployed their various products since 1999, back in the NT4 Terminal Server edition. I have fond memories of running MS Word on UNIX terminals at university by connecting to Citrix running on NT4 on my home PC. Other students would walk past rows of screens in the computer lab all showing drab black and white fixed-width text editors except for one in the middle wi…

PE firms don’t issue debt for leveraged buyouts. The debt is issued by the target company, ie. Citrix. Citrix is responsible for servicing the debt, not the PE firm.
Part of the way M&A activity destroys companies. Not that anyone would miss Citrix except for their open source contributions, even if they are pared down.

I find it fascinating you went through your life so far without knowing about citrix.
