OpenDarwin Shuts Down as Apple Opens Up Mac OS Forge
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Infor Closes SSA Buy and Acquires Remaining GEAC Bits
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Midrange ERP powerhouse Infor announced last week that it had finalized its acquisition of rival software maker and similarly venture-capital backed SSA Global, and said further that it had acquired Extensity, the piece of Canadian ERP software supplier GEAC that was not originally acquired back in November 2005 when Infor started to bulk up in a big way.
